Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
The sum awarded includes an amount for prior rent arrears which the tenant had acknowledged and was paying off.
The tenant advised that he wanted an in person hearing because of his mental health. No application or notification was received from the tenant prior to the hearing seeking an in person hearing. As explained during the hearing, the Tribunal is satisfied that the landlord’s application could be adequately dealt with at the telephone hearing attended by both parties.
The landlord’s application was straightforward. It has supplied its statements to the tenant through the application process. In addition, the parties have met at mediation which was unsuccessful.
The tenant has not supplied any information to the Tribunal that challenges the landlord’s statements. It is for the tenant to supply documentary evidence that challenges the landlord’s statements. In the absence of any such evidence, the Tribunal is persuaded on the landlord’s evidence of the amounts due.
Under section 85 RTA, the Tribunal’s jurisdiction is to be exercised in a manner that is most likely to ensure the fair and expeditious resolution of disputes. The Tribunal is satisfied that in this case, the holding of the hearing by telephone was suitable to meet those aims and that there was nothing in the landlord’s application which required an in person hearing or that disadvantaged the tenant who had adequate time to object to the form of the hearing and supply any evidence he wished.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
