59pm on Friday 20 th March 2026.

[The tenant/s], [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay Rental Hq Limited Trading As Custom Property Management As Agent For Glenhow Trust $794.13 from the bond, being rent arrears to 13 March 2026, repairs and filing fee, as calculated and set out below:

The Bond Centre is to pay $794.13 from the bond of $2,360.00 (BN-00148689) to Rental Hq Limited Trading As Custom Property Management As Agent For Glenhow Trust immediately.

The balance of the bond of $1,565.87 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing with a Korean interpreter arranged for the tenant. The tenant did not turn up nor communicate with the Tribunal seeking an adjournment. The tenant was served with the notice of hearing. I am proceeding with the hearing in the absence of the tenant.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

In this case I find the landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice.

The landlord has served 7 14 day notices for breaches of the Tenancy Agreement and Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA). The predominate breach is rent arrears consistently throughout the tenancy, plus subletting to unknown other parties and damage to a sprinkler.

The rent arrears have been consistently in arrears for most of the tenancy and not remedied. The landlord has repeatedly sought the names and details of the sublets in the property, but this information has not been provided.

The grounds have been established and the tenancy must be terminated. The tenancy is to terminate at 11.59pm on Friday 20 th March 2026.

Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, as ordered above. Rent arrears:

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount of $590.00 owing as of 13 March 2026.

The tenant has been paying off the cost of the sprinkler damage. The tenant owes $176.13 in damages for the sprinkler, which I am including in this order.

Because Rental Hq Limited Trading As Custom Property Management As Agent For Glenhow Trust has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
