Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Anthony Cutler must pay Yes Lets Limited As Agent For Michael William $5,770.86 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,400.00 (BN-00166428) to Yes Lets Limited As Agent For Michael William immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was conducted by video conference. The tenant did not seek to be admitted to the hearing at the scheduled time. Because the tenant has been served notice of the hearing to his email address which is an address for service on his tenancy agreement, I am satisfied the service requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986, (the “RTA”) have been satisfied, and the hearing was conducted in his absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
The tenant signed a fixed term tenancy to begin on 27 October 2025 and end on 25 October 2026.
In February 2026 the landlord became aware the tenant had abandoned the premises. An inspection showed that the tenant had removed all his belongings from the premises and was no longer living there.
The landlord made an application to Tenancy Services to terminate the tenancy, and began the process of finding a new tenant so as to minimise the financial burden on the tenant. A replacement tenant was found and a new tenancy began on 10 April 2026.
The Tribunal confirms the tenant’s tenancy ended on 9 April 2026.
Because the tenancy was a fixed-term tenancy, the tenant is responsible for rent up until the new tenancy began.
The landlord provided a rent summary which proves rent arrears to 9 April 2026 is $8,142.86.
Because Yes Lets Limited As Agent For Michael William has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
