Claim	Landlord	Tenant	Reason
Rent arrears to 4.6.2025	$730.00		Rent arrears to 4.6.2025
Filing fee reimbursement	$27.00		Filing fee reimbursement

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address.

Winnifred Toe Toe must pay [The landlord/s] $757.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

All other claims are dismissed.

Reasons

[The landlord/s], representing the landlord, and the tenant, Ms Toe Toe, both attended the teleconference hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, outgoings, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. During the hearing, the landlord withdrew the claim for termination of the tenancy.

How much is owing for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 4 June 2025, the date of the hearing, which was $1,460. At the hearing, the landlord said another rent payment of $730.00 had gone through on 3 June 2025 and so the balance owing to 4 June 2025 was $730.00. The tenant thought this was likely the correct amount of rent arrears owing and said a relative could help her pay this next week.

How much is owing for water?

The landlord claimed $969.92 for water bills up to 14 May 2025. The landlord provided 6 water invoices covering the periods from 21 July 2024 to 14 February 2025, but did not provide water invoices from 15 February 2025 to 14 May 2025.

The landlord provided an internal ledger of water invoices. However, the water ledger only contained entries that said either “water” or “water usage” but did not include any periods covered for each of the water invoices in the ledger. Also, the net amounts (only water consumed, not any fixed charges) that I calculated from the water invoices provided did not match all the amounts debited for water invoices’ consumable charges on the landlord’s water ledger, and could not be attributed to any specific periods covered on the landlord’s ledger.

The tenant acknowledged she was behind on water bills but did not comment further about this.

Given the landlord has not provided any water invoices to cover the period claimed from 15 February 2025 to 14 May 2025, nor do the consumable charges on the water invoices provided match many of the landlord’s ledger debits, and that there are no specific date periods included for water invoiced in the landlord’s ledger, I find the landlord has provided insufficient evidence to prove the outgoings claim. Therefore, I dismiss the landlord’s outgoings claim. Filing fee

Because [The landlord/s] has been successful with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

The landlord requested name suppression. The tenant did not request name suppression.

As the landlord has been successful with the claim, they are entitled to name suppression. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
