Octavia Wiparata must pay [The landlord] $1,952.71 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend. I called the tenant and she initially picked up the call and then terminated it. When I called back the phone went straight to voicemail. I left a message with instructions on how the tenant could attend the hearing. The landlord also confirmed that the tenant was aware of the application and of the hearing details.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The tenant has given notice that she is ending the tenancy on 26 February 2025. The tenant has been in rent arrears for some time, as such the landlord is seeking an earlier termination date based on the provision set out in s55(1)(a) of the RTA.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The Tribunal has no discretion under this section of the RTA other than to terminate the tenancy. Therefore, the tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Reimbursement of filing fee
Because [the applicant] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
The landlord applies for non-publication of its name and identifying details.
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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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 in its proceedings. I do not consider publication is in the public interest or justified because of the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
Non-publication is ordered.
