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.
Jordan Powell is removed as a tenant party from the application.
William Powell and Sesalina Powell must pay [The landlord/s] $3,713.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

[The landlord’s representative/s], representing the landlord, attended the teleconference hearing. The phone numbers for the tenants, the last three digits being 841, 601 and 471 respectively, were each called twice. All calls went to voicemail. As the tenants were served, the hearing proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, notice to quit, and rent arrears. During the hearing, the landlord withdrew the claims for termination and notice to quit, indicating the tenancy ended on 30 March 2025. Also during the hearing, the landlord added a claim for reimbursement of the filing fee, which I allowed.
The landlord initially named three tenants – William Powell, Jordan Powell and Sesalina Powell, in the application. However, as only William Powell and Sesalina Powell were named in the tenancy agreement, and as the landlord did not provide any document showing Jordan Powell was joined as a legal tenant, I remove Jordan Powell as a tenant party to the application. The landlord agreed with this.

How much is owing in rent?

The landlord said the owner had an agreement with the tenants not to proceed with a Tribunal application if they made regular payments towards rent arrears outstanding. However, the landlord advised that, whilst the tenants were making regular payments for a while, the last payment from the tenants was on 11 June 2025. As such, the landlord wished to proceed with the application for rent arrears.
The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to the end of the tenancy, which was 30 March 2025, as well as all the payments made by the tenants since then towards rent arrears, with the last payment from the tenants being on 11 June 2025. The rent records showed the outstanding balance for rent arrears, taking into account the tenants’ payments after the tenancy ended, is $3,686.00. Filing fee
Because [The landlord/s] has been successful with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
The landlord requested name suppression. As they have been successful with the claim, the landlord is 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.
