[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $218.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 22 September 2025 as set out in the table below:

Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. [Property Manager], Property Manager, appeared for the landlord. The tenants did not appear and unsuccessful were made to join them to the hearing by telephone. 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 9 September 2016 and is periodic.
On 15 July 2025, the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.
At the hearing, the landlord stated termination of the tenancy was no longer sought as the tenants had been actively paying off the rent arrears.
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 or provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Section 95A of the 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wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that the name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any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.
