Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
Naaluse Pole, Timote Pole and Elizzane Pole must pay [The landlord/s] $2,307.71 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

The claim for termination and the bond was withdrawn.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by phone.
The tenants did not connect to the remote hearing. The tenants were telephoned on the phone numbers provided but the phone calls went unanswered. I am satisfied the tenants were properly served with notice of the hearing. The hearing proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenant, rent arrears, the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. 1 Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. 2
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 3 The landlord served a notice to remedy a breach on the tenant on 15 December 2025, however this has not been served on all tenants or to the email address for service for Timole Pole recorded in the tenancy agreement. Rent was not 21 days in arrears as at the hearing date.
After discussion of these issues the landlord withdrew the current application for termination and the bond but intends to refile the application for termination in the following days as rent will potentially be 21 days in arrears (unless paid by the tenants).
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
[Redacted] is not a tenant under the tenancy agreement or any variation. Accordingly, he is not liable for the amounts claimed and is removed as a party.
Because the landlord has been partly successful in the claim I have ordered that the tenant pay the landlord the filing fee paid for the application. 4
The landlord sought suppression and as the application is partly successful, I have made an order accordingly. [Redacted} name is also suppressed.
