Order
- Kuata Penina Paisami must pay Urban Property Services Limited As Agent For Stanmore Bay Limited $3,003.00 immediately as set out in the table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,000.00 (BN-17594156) to Urban Property Services Limited As Agent For Stanmore Bay Limited immediately.
Reasons
- Only the landlord attended the hearing.
- The parties are under a fixed term tenancy until 5 November 2026.
- The tenant abandoned the fixed term tenancy leaving behind rent arrears.
- The property has since been relet on 6 March 2026, and the landlord has applied for rent arrears until that date.
- The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- I also allow the landlord’s claim for expenses under section 44A Residential Tenancies Act 1986, being expenses reasonably incurred by the landlord in respect of the termination of the fixed term tenancy.
- Because the landlord is successful in this claim, I also order reimbursement of the filing fee.
