Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of telephone conference. [Property Manager], Property Manager, appeared for the landlord. Mr Troake, tenancy guarantor, appeared. Unsuccessful attempts were made to join Ms Troake to the hearing. The Tribunal was satisfied that the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

The tenancy commenced on 14 December 2024 with the fixed term due to expire on 14 January 2026.

On 17 June 2025, the tenant was notified, by email, of the change in property management companies. The e-mail also contained banking instructions for rent payments.

On 10 July 2025, the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

At the hearing, the landlord sort to amend their claim to include water rates. The Tribunal declines to hear this matter. The claim was not made in the landlord’s written application and the tenant is not aware the landlord is asking the Tribunal to consider the matter today. The principles of fairness and natural justice apply.

The onus of proving these claims rests with the landlord. The standard required is on the balance of probabilities. The landlord must establish more likely than not that the tenant has breached the terms of the agreement of provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “Act”). Rent arrears

Section 55(1)(a) of the Act states that the Tribunal shall make an order terminating the tenancy if the Tribunal is satisfied that the rent was, at the date on which the application was filed under s86, at least 21 days in arrears.

The landlord seeks immediate possession of the property as the tenant continues to accrue rent arrears.

The tenant resides at the property with her dependent child.

Having heard from the landlord I am satisfied that it is appropriate to terminate the tenancy at midnight on Monday 4 August 2025. Costs

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

Section 95A of Act provides that on the application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that the name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has been wholly successful and has been granted name suppression.
