An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s and tenant’s name and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,669.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 30 June 2025.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $10.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

[The Property Manager] attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenant did not appear. The landlord said he spoke to the tenant this morning and the tenant had indicated he would be appearing. The Tribunal was satisfied the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

The tenancy commenced on 14 February 2025 and was periodic.

On 25 April 2025 the tenant moved into a double room at the property and their rent increased from $200.00 to $220.00 per week.

On 16 May 2025 the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, termination of the tenancy for rent arrears, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. Rent arrears

Under section 55(1) of the Act, the Tribunal must, subject to subsection 55(2) terminate the tenancy, if at the time the application was filed, the rent was at least 21 days in arrears.

Under section 56(1) of the Act, the Tribunal may terminate a tenancy if the tenant has failed to remedy a 14-day breach notice for rent arrears, and it would be inequitable to refuse termination.

Under section 56(2) of the Act, if an application is made under section 56(1) and, at the time of the hearing the rent was at least 21 days in arrears, the Tribunal shall determine the application as if it had been made under section 55(1) and (2) of the Act. Decisions

The landlord issued a 14-day breach notice on 25 April 2025 for rent arrears. The notice advised the tenant that they were $220.00 in rent arrears and required the breach to be remedied by 9 May 2025.

On 28 April 2025 the tenant paid the landlord $172.00 towards their rent arrears.

On 30 April 2025 the tenant paid the landlord a further $250.00. This payment resulted in the tenant being $202.00 in rent credit.

The tenant remedied the breach notice. The landlord’s application for termination of the tenancy under section 56(1) of the Act is dismissed.

As the landlord’s application under section 56(1) of the Act is dismissed, the landlord is unable to rely on section 56(2) of the Act for termination of the tenancy.

The application was filed on 16 May 2025. At the date of filing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $458.00. The rent was not 21 days in arrears. The landlord’s application for termination of the tenancy under section 55(1) is dismissed.

The landlord provided up to date rent records which prove the amount owed.

At the date of hearing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $1652.00. The amount of rent arrears is proved.

The landlord has advised the Tribunal that the tenant may have alternative accommodation available to them through a Government Agency. The landlord and tenant may choose to negotiate a date on which this current tenancy ends. Costs

Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression

Under section 95A of the Act a party who has been either wholly or substantially successful is entitled to name suppression unless the Tribunal finds that there are reasons relating to the conduct of the party not to do so.

In this case the landlord has been substantially successful and is granted name suppression.

Despite not attending the hearing the tenant has been substantially successful and is granted name suppression.
