Order
- Foi FoiSaga and Paulo Paulo must pay Fair Rentals Limited As Agent For Kunal Batra $3,900.85 immediately, being rent arrears and water rates to 16 December 2025
Reasons
- Foi FoiSaga appeared by video conference and Mr Sing appeared for the applicant.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- I am also satisfied that the water rates invoices are proven. Whilst in the application the dates of some of the invoices do not match the time period of the arrears, I am satisfied that there has not been a double up in the invoices. The debt ranges from March 2025 until December 2025.
- Because Fair Rentals Limited As Agent For Kunal Batra has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
