Order
- Eleina Puheke must pay Clear Property Management Limited $11,306.03 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
Reasons
- The hearing was held by video conference. The landlord attended the hearing, but the tenant did not attend. I am satisfied that adequate service of the hearing notice was completed, and it was reasonable to proceed in the tenant’s absence.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
How much is owed for rent and water rates?
- The tenancy ended on 27 October 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
