Party names are redacted in the official published order.
Order
- The landlord’s name and details are suppressed.
- Poukai Moana must pay the landlord $1,872.57 immediately, being: a. Previous order application 5134408 dated 30/01/2025 of $697.00. b. Rent arrears to 30 January 2025 of $1,148.57. c. Reimbursement of the filing fee of $27.00.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing by telephone. The tenant was telephoned twice but did not answer and a message was left.
- This tenancy was terminated by Order 5134408 on the basis that the tenant had abandoned the property.
- The landlord was entitled to rent to 11 February 2025 but had only supplied a rent statement to 30 January 2025. The Adjudicator advised the landlord to claim the balance of the rent owing in the application he would need to file for compensation for cleaning and repairs.
- The landlord had assumed that these claims could be added to this application which was also for rent arrears and termination based on abandonment.
- As the tenant has not had notice of the landlord’s claims for compensation through the Notice of Hearing, it was not possible to consider the landlord’s claims for compensation. He will file a further application in due course.
- This order has dealt with the landlord’s claim for rent only. As the landlord has provided rent records in support of his claim, an award is made for the remaining 11 days’ rent.
- Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
