Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
Vaughan Giles must pay [The landlord/s] $974.29 immediately, being rent arrears to 4 May 2026.

Reasons

On 24 October 2025, the landlord filed an application seeking rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. [Property Manager], Property Manager, appeared for the landlord. The tenant failed to appear. The Tribunal was satisfied the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.
At the commencement of the hearing the landlord sought to amend their claim to include outstanding water rates and conditional termination of the tenancy. The Tribunal declined to amend the landlord’s claim. Section 91(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and the principles of fairness and natural justice apply. The tenant has not been fully informed of the landlord’s additional claims and has not been afforded the opportunity to prepare to answer these claims.

How much is owed in rent?

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to the date of hearing total $946.29. The amount claimed is ordered.
The Tribunal takes the nonpayment of rent seriously and declares that the tenant is required to pay rent as and when it falls due in accordance with the tenancy agreement and section 40(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Failure to do so could result in a breach notice being issued and further application to the Tribunal. Other matters
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord has applied for name suppression. Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provided that the Tribunal must, on application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, order that party’s name and identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim and is therefore granted name suppression.
