An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

The tenancy of Kazem Asghari and Razieh Abedlou at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at

59pm on Wednesday 28 January 2026.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Kazem Asghari and Razieh Abedlou must pay [The landlord/s] $4,023.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the remote hearing.

The landlord has applied for a. termination of the tenancy, b. rent arrears. c. payment of the bond and d. reimbursement of the filing fee. Service

Ms Abedlou was not served with the application as she has not provided an address for service in the tenancy agreement or bond lodgement form. Ms Abedlou attended the hearing, but I understand she has poor English. Mr Asghari confirmed he had full authority to accept documents for service on her behalf and appear at the hearing on her behalf. Mr Asghari confirmed he had received the application by email to Mezakycos@gmail.com and details of the hearing by text message.

The application and notice of hearing have therefore not been served in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 but upon hearing from the parties I consider Ms Asghari was likely to be on notice of the claim by way of service on Mr Asghari. 1

In the order above I have terminated the tenancy however I had delayed the termination date to allow the order to be posted to Ms Abedlou to the tenancy address and direct that service to the tenancy address of the Order will likely bring notice of the Order to her attention. This will allow Ms Abedlou the opportunity to apply for a rehearing in event she considers there is grounds to do so.

This order will also be emailed to the old and new email address provided by the Mr Asghari. Adjournment

On the morning of the hearing the tenant emailed from a new e-mail address under a different name saying that he could not attend the hearing because he is sick. In that e-mail an adjournment was not applied for, and no medical certificate was provided. 1 Section 91A and 91B RTA.

At the hearing Mr Asghari applied an adjournment however I declined to grant the adjournment given no medical certificate had been provided, no request for the adjournment had been made before the hearing and the landlord opposed the adjournment given the significant rent arrears. The hearing proceeded.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall make an order terminating the tenancy if satisfied that the rent was, at the date the application was filed, at least 21 days in arrears. 2 Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated.

A conditional termination date was discussed, however the tenant said they could not pay rent, therefore a conditional termination order was not feasible.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 3 The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at the hearing date.

The bond is to be paid to the landlord immediately to offset the rent arrears. Filing fee

Because the landlord has succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

Section 95A of the RTA relates to suppression orders. The relevant provisions state: (1)The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or 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.... ...(4) The Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the 2 See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. 3 See section 40 (1)(a) of the RTA. public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published. (5) An order under subsection (4) may be made subject to any conditions that the Tribunal considers appropriate.

The landlord sought suppression and as the application is successful, I have made an order accordingly.

The tenant did not seek name suppression.
