Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Casey Dixon at 93 Argyle Street, Hawera, Hawera 4610 has ended and possession returned to Michael John Brisco at 8am Monday 3 March 2025.
Casey Dixon must pay Michael John Brisco $1,907.00 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference. The calls to the tenant went unanswered. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the second call also went unanswered.
The landlord had sought termination and rent arrears but the tenant left and the landlord obtained possession on 3 March 2025. This return of possession is confirmed by order for the avoidance of doubt.
The landlord sought $1,880.00 in final rent arrears. The format of his rent book submitted as evidence did not make confirmation of this obvious. I advised him I would do some checksums and having done that I am satisfied that the rent arrears sought are more than likely lesser than what might be evidenced in another way. I therefore accept the claim and award $1,880.00.
The landlord has indicated a further application may follow for vacated issues. For that reason and his benefit so he can prepare accordingly, a party who brings a claim to the Tenancy Tribunal must prove on the balance of probabilities (more likely than not) that their version of events took place. Independent witnesses, corroborating documents and photographs are an important part of discharging this burden of proof.
The issue of evidence at Tenancy Tribunal hearings was considered by the District Court in Kaipo v Clarke & McCarthy (DC) TT233/02. Judge Mather stated: “...[the applicant] needs to be reminded that like anyone who brings an application before a Tribunal or a Court, it is incumbent upon the applicant to provide the evidence necessary to prove the case. If the applicant fails to do that, then their application will be dismissed whether it has merit or not because it is up to the applicant to provide the necessary evidence. It is not up to the other parties and it is certainly not up to the Tribunal to extract evidence.” Filing fee
Because Michael John Brisco has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
