The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $352.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,171.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

[ Tenancy Manager] appeared for the landlord by telephone. An unsuccessful call was made to the tenant on the number provided. The hearing proceeded in their absence.

The landlord is a social housing provider. The tenancy commenced on 24 July 2024 and is periodic. On 13 March 2025, the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy for rent arrears.

Section 55(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “Act”) provides that where the rent is more than 21 days in arrears at the time the application is filed, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy.

The landlord has produced an up to date rent summary. I am satisfied the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated, and possession granted to the landlord. The rent arrears claimed are awarded. Costs

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression.

Section 95A of the Act provides that on the application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that the name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has been wholly successful and is granted name suppression.

Section 95A (4) of the Act allows the Tribunal, on the application of any party to the proceedings, or on its own initiative, having regard to the interest of the parties and the public interest, to order that all or part of the evidence, or the name or any identifying particulars of any witnesses or party, not be published.

The landlord is a social housing provider offering affordable rental accommodation to vulnerable people. The tenant falls within that category. While I am satisfied that the facts and reasoning of this decision are in the public interest, I am not satisfied that this interest necessarily extends to the name of the tenant. I am satisfied that there are sufficient grounds to exercise the discretion in section 95A (4), and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name.
