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.
Tamati Neho must pay [The landlord] $3,184.14 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend. I tried to call the tenant and left a voice message with instructions on how to log into the video hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The evidence proves the tenant signed a tenancy agreement agreeing to rent the premise from 31 March 2025. On the signing of this tenancy agreement, a legally binding and enforceable contract was formed between the parties.
The tenant subsequently sought to amend the move in date to 27 March 2025 and after some consultation, a new start date for the tenancy was agreed as being 5 April 2025. This was a legally binding and enforceable variation to the contract agreed between the parties.
The landlord became concerned when it had received no further communication from the tenant after the parties had agreed to the new tenancy commencement date, and the tenant had not paid his bond or moved into the premise.
On 17 April 2025, the tenant contacted the landlord and informed it that he would not be moving in. The landlord took this communication as the equivalent of the tenant giving 21 days’ notice terminating the tenancy.
Therefore, the tenancy ended on 8 May 2025 and the tenant is legally liable for payment of rent from 5 April 2025 to 8 May 2025.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Reimbursement of filing fee
Section 102(4) of the RTA confirms that applicants that are wholly or substantially successful in proving their claims will have their filing fee reimbursed.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
The landlord applies for non-publication of its name and identifying details.
The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
The landlord has wholly succeeded in its proceedings. I do not consider publication is in the public interest or justified because of the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
