Filing Fee Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Justize Nikita Thompson must pay [The landlord/s] $1,632.09 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,720.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative and two joint tenants (TH and JT) attended the hearing held by telephone.
The landlord has applied for payment of rent and water arrears, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenancy ended on 14 June 2025.
The landlord has provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy and the tenants agree these are correct.
I award rent arrears of $4,157.14 and water rates of $167.95.
The landlord must also be awarded the filing fee.
Justize Nikita Thompson advised that the amounts owing are her sole responsibility and requests that TH be released from liability.
Joint tenants are together responsible to the landlord, and liability is not usually separated. This entitles a landlord to seek payment of amounts owing from any one or more tenants.
In this case, the landlord agrees to release TH provided the full bond is refunded to the landlord.
JT said the bond was paid by TH.
I cannot refund the bond to TH because she is jointly liable for the amount owing and the landlord wants the bond to be paid to reduce the debt.
I order that the bond be refunded to the landlord immediately.
JT can repay TH for the amount of the bond as a separate arrangement. This is not part of the tenancy proceedings.
With the consent of the landlord, I remove TH from this order.
The balance JT must pay to the landlord is $1,632.09. JT advises she will make payment arrangements with the landlord directly.
I grant suppression of the landlord’s name as it has been successful in the claims.
