Order
Elley-May Fisher must pay Garth William Pickford and Gw &Pc Pickford Partnership $17,800.00 immediately, being discounted rent arrears to 14 April 2026.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- I have deducted $3,000.00 due to the Landlord’s failure efficiently mitigate their own loss pursuant to s 49 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act). I appreciate the Landlords are both very busy. However, if a Tenant does not pay rent, a Landlord must actively take steps to reduce their own loss by properly and proactively using the procedures for relief under the Act.
