Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Wolfbrook Property Management Limited $5,492.33 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Ms Jones, representing the landlord, attended the teleconference hearing. The phone number for the tenant, the last three digits being 584, was called twice. Both calls went to voicemail. As the tenant was served, the hearing proceeded in her absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears. The tenancy was a fixed-term tenancy to 30 September 2025. The landlord said the tenant asked to leave the tenancy early, due to unforeseen circumstances, and that the tenant left on 10 February 2025. The landlord said the tenant signed a Break Lease form dated 29 January 2025, which was provided, agreeing to pay any break lease costs and agreeing to pay rent until a new tenant was found for the property.
Clause 39 of the Tenancy Agreement also provides for a break lease fee payable by the tenant, as well as for the tenant to continue paying rent until a new tenant moved into the property. The landlord said a new tenant moved into the property on 18 April 2025 ( redacted Tenancy Agreement for the new tenant confirming this date was provided) and clarified they are not claiming for any break lease fees, only for rent arrears to 17 April 2025, the day before the new tenant moved into the property.
The landlord said further that the tenant agreed to release the bond of $2,600.00 to the landlord. The landlord provided rent records which show that $2,409.65 was credited to the rent summary arrears on 17 February 2025. The landlord confirmed this was the bond applied to the rent arrears owing. The landlord further explained that the tenant had asked for them to call a plumber to unblock the toilet in November 2024, during the tenancy, and confirmed the tenant was aware that she was liable for this invoice for the plumber in the amount of $172.50 (a copy of this invoice was provided by the landlord). The landlord said this invoice was paid for out of the bond funds, given the tenant had acknowledged she owed them for the cost of the plumber. I accept this is likely, and is a reasonable deduction from the bond, as the plumber visit was requested by the tenant to unblock the toilet during the tenancy. The landlord acknowledged that left $17.88 from the bond unaccounted for, which had not yet been credited to rent arrears, which the landlord said could be deducted from any rent arrears found owing to them by the tenant.
The landlord’s rent summary showed that $5,483.21 was owing in rent arrears to 17 April 2025. With a further deduction of $17.88 to be credited to rent arrears from the bond, as outlined above, this brings the rent arrears owing to 17 April 2025 to $5,465.33. Filing fee
As Wolfbrook Property Management Limited has been successful with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.
