Order
- The Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details.
- The tenant owes the landlord $292.68 (“the debt”) being water rates of $264.68 and reimbursement of the filing fee of $28.00.
- The tenant shall pay the landlord $50.00 weekly starting today Monday 13 October 2025, until the debt is paid in full.
- If the tenant fails to pay any amount due within two working days of the date provided in order 3, then the landlord can enforce this order as a monetary order.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
- The tenant agreed with the landlord that they owed water rates of $264.68.
- The tenant agreed to make payment of the amount outstanding and reimbursement of the filing fee by weekly payments of $50.00 starting today.
- The parties agreed on the terms of this order during the hearing. The parties could have been referred to mediation so that their agreement could be recorded in a mediated order. In that event, the order and the parties’ names would not have been published. Referral to mediation would have postponed the resolution of this dispute and would have involved both parties in the cost of further time spent at a mediation conference.
- As the parties reached agreement by consent at the hearing and there are no matters of public interest in this order, it is appropriate that the parties’ names are suppressed.
- Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
