Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details and the tenancy address.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $3,294.86 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the teleconference hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and for reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much rent does the tenant owe the landlord?

The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 18 February 2025, which was the end of the tenancy, is $3,267.86. The tenant agreed the end of the tenancy was on 18 February 2025, when he returned the keys, and that this is likely the correct amount of rent arrears he owes the landlord. Filing fee
Because [The applicant/s] has been successful with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Both parties requested name suppression. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as they have been successful with the claim. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published.
Section 95A(4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal may, on the application of a party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or party of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
From the evidence provided, it appeared that the tenant experienced some financial hardship, could not continue with the tenancy and moved away out of Auckland, which he notified to the landlord. There were issues between the parties in arranging for the keys to be returned to the landlord, which extended the date to end the tenancy. The tenant agreed upon the date the tenancy ended as being the date the keys were finally returned, he agreed with the amount of rent arrears and appeared committed to sorting out the issue with the landlord after the hearing, using the bond and payment arrangements. In the circumstances and given the evidence, I find the tenant’s interests outweigh the public interest in publishing his name. Therefore, I order that the tenant’s name and identifying details are not to be published.
