Reasons

The hearing was conducted by way of video conference.
[The property manager] appeared on behalf of the landlord as property manager.
Mr Beattie appeared as the tenant via teleconference.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and provided rent records that prove the amount owing. The landlord has sought reimbursement of $75 for access to the property during an inspection. Rent arrears
The tenant accepts the arrears as calculated. I am satisfied on the evidence that $3,157.14 is properly owing for rent to the date the tenancy ended. Access to the Property
The landlord is seeking reimbursement of $75 for accessing the property during an inspection.
The landlord’s evidence is that: a. A property inspection was arranged following notice being given; b. Upon attending, the property manager was unable to enter via the driveway gate; c. The gate had been secured from the inside using a screwdriver, preventing access from the outside; d. A handyman was required to attend and remove the obstruction; and e. This resulted in a cost of $75.
The tenant’s evidence is that: a. The gate was secured while he was away for security reasons; b. The intention was to prevent unauthorised entry onto the property; c. The method used meant the gate could not be opened externally; d. With more time or notice, he could have arranged for the obstruction to be removed;
The tenant, however, accepts the cost and does not dispute reimbursement.
Although there was some discussion regarding the adequacy of notice, I do not need to determine that issue conclusively because a. By consent, the tenant has accepted responsibility for the cost; and b. The cost arose directly from the manner in which the gate was secured.
The landlord’s application for reimbursement of the cost of accessing the property is granted. Filing fee
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded in the proceeding, I have granted the landlord’s application for name suppression.
