Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[Tenant]’s name and identifying details must not be published.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,596.00 (3546346-029) to Braziers Limited as agent for Smart Property Endeavour Ltd immediately.
[Tenant] and Jesse-James Carnival Couling must pay Braziers Limited as agent for Smart Property Endeavour Ltd $1,951.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 17 July 2025$3,520.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$3,547.00 Bond$1,596.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$1,951.00

Reasons

Th hearing was conducted on Microsoft Teams.
Nikki Roundhill and Jo Ramshaw attended the hearing for the landlord by the videolink.
Ms [tenant’s surname] attended by telephone.
Mr Couling did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, possession of the premises, rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee, and the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The Tribunal must therefore terminate the tenancy under s 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing until the end of yesterday.
The tenants must reimburse the landlord for the filing fee.
Under s 95A(4) of the RTA, the Tribunal may on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that the name or any identifying particulars of any party not be published.
Ms [tenant’s surname] is 21 years old. The rent arrears and departure from the fixed- term tenancy was due to a relationship break-up. She has not been before the Tribunal before. She is taking responsibility for the rent arrears. It is in the public interest to not publish the tenant’s name in these circumstances when publication might unfairly prejudice her finding rental premises in the future. Having regard to the public interest and the interests of the parties, I consider it is appropriate to order that Ms [surname]’s name and identifying particulars are not published.
