Order

- The amount to pay is calculated as follows: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to termination Filing fee reimbursement Less bond refunded $4,107.14 $27.00 $2,600.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$1,534.14
Reasons
- Only the landlord attended the hearing. The tenant was phoned twice but calls went to voicemail on each occasion.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. Filing Fee
- Because the landlord has been successful with the claim the filing fee of $27.00 is ordered to be paid by the tenant. Suppression
- The landlord has applied for name suppression. Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
- The landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim and therefore name suppression is granted.
