Reasons
- Mr Liu, representing the landlord attended the hearing by teleconference. The tenant did not phone in to join the teleconference hearing pursuant to instructions on the Notice of Hearing, nor was there any response to calling the tenant’s phone number, the last three digits being 287. As the tenant was served, the hearing proceeded in her absence.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
- At the start of the hearing, the landlord withdrew the termination of the tenancy claim, indicating the tenant vacated the property on 4 February 2026, which was the end of the tenancy.
How much rent is owing?
- The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 4 February 2026, the end of the tenancy, which is $8,468.57. Suppression
