Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
Kyla Grant and Charlie Steiner must pay [The landlord/s] $1,157.12 immediately, being rent arrears to 13 February 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,680.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
This order incorporates the Tribunal’s previous order for application number 5135108 dated 5 February 2025.
[The landlord/s] must take any personal documents belonging to the tenant, that have been left at the premises, to the nearest Police station and obtain a receipt for them.
The landlord shall dispose of the other goods left at the premises by the tenant by: a. selling all goods with a saleable value by public auction or by private contract at a reasonable market price, and b. disposing of all goods with no saleable value as the landlord sees fit.
The amount owing to the applicant out of the proceeds of any sale is $1,157.12.
[The landlord/s] must pay the proceeds of any sale, less the amount owing, to the Bond Centre together with a copy of this order.

Reasons

This application was scheduled to be heard by video conference. The tenants did not link to the Teams link provided to them and nor did they answer either of the two calls I made to each of their phones. The hearing therefore proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
I note that this order incorporates the Tribunal’s previous order dated 5 February 2025 for application number 5135108. On that day the Tribunal ordered the tenants to pay $2,330.12 which was comprised of rent arrears and the filing fee.
At the hearing on that day Mr Steiner advised that he would pay a further $420.00 and the rent calculation took into account this promised amount. However, the rent record shows that the promised payment was not made and that the last payment of rent was $380.00 on 31 December 2024.
The landlord has also applied for the disposal of goods that the tenants left at the premises at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord is unable to contact the tenants.
It is not practicable for the landlord to the return the goods to the tenants. Some of the goods may have a value above the cost of storing, transporting and selling them. The landlord must sell these goods at a reasonable market price.
The landlord may deduct any amount owing from the sale proceeds, and must pay the balance to the Bond Centre. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2),(3) and (4), 62C(1)(b),(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The landlord may dispose of any goods that have no saleable value.
I note that I am also ordering the tenants to reimburse the filing fee for this application because the landlord was wholly successful with the claim against them. C ter Haar 15 May 2025
