Order
- [The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Tbt Property Management Limited $200.42 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing via remote teleconference. Attempts were made to contact the tenant on the two telephone numbers provided with the application. Both attempts were unsuccessful.
- The landlord has applied for outstanding water charges and reimbursement of the filing fee.
How much is owed for water rates?
- The landlord provided water rates invoices which prove the amount owing. The landlord also provided a September invoice just prior to the hearing.
- The landlord advised that the tenant is currently paying the debt at the rate of $40.00 per week. The landlord requested that a payment arrangement be incorporated into this order. Unfortunately, that is not possible in the absence of the tenant.
