Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression the landlord’s name.
Corey-Lee Stratford must pay [The landlord/s] $1,483.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by video / telephone conference. A representative of the landlord attended the hearing for the landlord. Two attempts were made to contact the tenant. They were both unsuccessful. The tenant has not communicated with the Tribunal as to why he would not attend the hearing. The hearing proceeded in rent arrears.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

On 15 December 2026, the parties entered into a periodic tenancy agreement. The agreement provides that the tenancy would start on 07 January 2026. Clause 19(b)(iii) of the tenancy agreement provides that the tenant may terminate the tenancy by providing 21 days’ notice in writing. This is consistent with section 51(2A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenancy agreement provides that a bond and one week’s rent in advance were payable as “move in costs”. Shortly before the tenancy was due to start, the tenant advised the landlord that he was unable to pay the full move in costs before the start of the tenancy. The landlord would not allow the tenant to move into the premises without the full move in costs being paid in advance. On 06 January 2026, the tenant confirmed in writing to the landlord that he would not be moving into the premises.
The landlord is seeking 21 days’ rent from the start of the tenancy being the notice period. The landlord has provided a rent ledger showing the sum due.
This claim is proved. Filing fee and suppression:
The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim. For this reason, I order reimbursement of the filing fee and grant the landlord’s application for suppression of the landlord’s name which was made during the hearing.
