Order
- Because this Order records the parties’ agreement, the Tribunal orders suppression of both parties’ names and identifying details.
- By consent, the tenancy will end when the fixed term expires on 7 April 2026.
- [The tenant/s] must continue to pay rent and the debt by weekly payments of $0.00, being $0.00 for normal weekly rent and $0.00 for the debt, each Monday.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference.
- On 2 February 2026 the Tribunal made a conditional termination Order requiring that the tenant pay the weekly rent of $625.00 and $167.00 toward rent arrears.
- The tenant has complied with that Order.
- The repayment arrangements were calculated so that the rent arrears would be reduced to the amount of the bond by the end of the fixed term. Accordingly, the bond should then be payable to the landlord.
