The requirement for service is dispensed with.

Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing. Service

The landlord made application to the Tribunal on 15 December 2025 which was more than two months after the end of the tenancy. This means that the application and other documents required to be served on the tenant must be posted to an address that the tenant has given to the landlord in writing within the last two months, or served in person on the tenant, or delivered to the tenant's place of residence, or given to an authorised agent of the tenant. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).

The landlord does not have a contact address for the tenant that has been given to them in writing within the last two months. The landlord has not been able to determine the tenant’s current address or whereabouts and has no knowledge of the tenant having an authorised agent or solicitor.

The application has been sent by text message to the tenant’s last telephone number used by the landlord to contact him. The Tribunal’s records show that it has sent a copy of the landlord’s application, the notice of hearing and notifications of the hearing by SMS messages to this cell phone number.

As the landlord’s application for compensation is limited to the modest amount of the bond and the Tribunal has evidence that the landlord’s claim is potentially for a sum several times greater, it is appropriate that in accordance with section 91B(2) RTA, the Tribunal direct that the requirement for service is dispensed with and that the landlord’s application is to proceed as if it had been served on the tenant.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord gave verbal, photographic and documentary evidence that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.

The amount ordered is proved.
