Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenants names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay Baath Rentals Limited $883.79 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $489.27 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Baath Rentals Limited immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the remote hearing. [Tenant] did not answer the phone call made to him or connect to the remote hearing. [Tenant] attended on behalf of both tenants.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates, compensation, payment of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 1 The tenancy ended on 27 July 2025.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy – however the rent summary did not reflect the previous order, which orders the bond be paid to off-set $2,407.71 of the rent arrears. The rent summary records that $2,400.36 was used to offset the rent arrears. It appears the landlord has used part of the bond released to pay the rent arrears for the amount claimed in the previous application for the fixed water rates charge. The Tribunal declined to award the fixed water rates charge and the tenant is not liable for this charge
By consent I deduct $7.35 from the rent arrears claimed to properly reflect the tenant’s liability for rent arrears. By consent the amount ordered is $343.29 to 27 July 2025.

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The amounts ordered are a. General Cleaning - $322 b. Rubbish removal - $603.75
