Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of [the landlord/s]’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Katriona Berry at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59 pm, Wednesday, 16 July 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,000.00 to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Katriona Berry must pay [The landlord/s] $247.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 16 July 2025$1,220.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$1,247.00 Bond$1,000.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$247.00

Reasons

[The landlord/s] attended the hearing via video conference.
Ms. Berry, the tenant, did not attend the hearing. I attempted to reach her on four different cell numbers ending in 3080, 2506, 3551, and 0841. None were successful. The calls either went to voicemail or had no connection.
The hearing then proceeded in Ms. Berry’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Bond and compensation
During the hearing, [the landlord/s] informed me that Ms. Berry had agreed to release the bond by consent.
However, as of today, no bond has been refunded.
I told [the landlord/s] that I would issue the order if the bond refund did not go through.
[The landlord/s] also sought compensation for cleaning costs, i.e., carpet cleaning. I declined to entertain this claim because the application before me today concerned only rent arrears and termination of the tenancy.
It would not be fair to Ms. Berry if she were not made aware of the claim.
[The landlord/s] may file a new application for compensation if he decides to do so. Filing fee
Because [The landlord/s] have wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Because [The landlord/s] have wholly succeeded in proceedings the name suppression application is granted.
