Order
- Josh Wiley must pay Inspire Property Management Limited As Agent For Philippa Jane Gillings And Michael Anthony Sean Lougheed As Trustees Of The Pip Gillings / Md And Pj Gillings Family Trust $115.86 immediately, being rent arrears to 9 February 2026.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,540.00 (BN-00117400) to Inspire Property Management Limited As Agent For Philippa Jane Gillings And Michael Anthony Sean Lougheed As Trustees Of The Pip Gillings / Md And Pj Gillings Family Trust immediately.
Reasons
- The Landlord attended the hearing. The Tenant did not appear.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates arrears, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
How much is owed for rent and water rates arrears?
- The tenancy ended on 9 February 2026. The Landlord provided rent records to prove the amount outstanding at the end of the tenancy. The Landlord also provided a water invoice for $237.10, due on 20 September 2025, and a subsequent water statement for $118.00, due on 3 November 2025.
- The Landlord explained that the water charges were calculated by their Head office but was unable to explain how the Tenant was charged $118.00 when the invoice was $237.10. A summary of the monthly water charges over the whole of the tenancy, together with the Tenant’s payments, would have assisted.
- For this reason, the claim for water rates is dismissed.
- As Inspire Property Management Limited As Agent For Philippa Jane Gillings And Michael Anthony Sean Lougheed As Trustees Of The Pip Gillings / Md And Pj Gillings Family Trust has substantially succeeded with the claim the Tenant shall reimburse the filing fee.
