Order
- The application is dismissed.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing which was held remotely.
- Ms Hodder made a claim in the Tribunal against the respondents for their breach of an agreement to pay her $7,000.00 in return for her vacating the tenancy earlier than the expiry of the fixed term.
- Subsequent to her application the respondent has made the payment.
- The applicant advised that the respondent had not made the payment in the time frame agreed. However she was unable to point to any financial loss that she has suffered as a result and so the Tribunal is unable, even if this was proven, to award her any monetary compensation for this purported breach.
- The applicant’s claim is therefore dismissed. C ter Haar 03 February 2026
