Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing on 24 March 2026. The tenant did not.

The tenancy agreement records two tenants, Sandaya Harris and Briana Chevarn Rogers. At the hearing, the landlord requested to remove Briana Chevarn Rogers from the application. The landlord gave evidence that Ms Rogers no longer lives at the premises.

Where there are two tenants named on a tenancy agreement, their liability under the agreement is joint and several. This means that each tenant is individually responsible for the full amount of any debt or obligation arising under the tenancy, as well as being collectively responsible with the other tenant(s). As a result, the landlord is entitled to file an application and pursue either one or both tenants for the full amount owing, at their discretion. The landlord is not required to bring the claim against all tenants at once or to divide the claim between them. For these reasons, the landlord’s application to remove Briana Chevarn Rogers from the application is granted.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, outgoings and refund of the bond.

As the applicant, the landlord must prove their claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. 1

The landlord submitted a rent summary, which proves rent arrears are $2,813.58 (30 days) up to the date of the hearing. For this reason, the tenancy is terminated at 11:59pm, Tuesday 24 March 2026.

How much does the tenant owe in rent arrears?

The landlord submitted a rent summary, which proves the tenant owes $2,813.58 in rent arrears up to 24 March 2026, which is the last day of the tenancy.

The landlord’s claim for rent arrears is granted for $2,813.58. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, sections 55 & 56(2).

How much does the tenant owe in outstanding water rates invoices?

The landlord submitted a copy of the original invoice from Veolia, which records a total of $59.75 is owing for water consumed between 11 February 2026 – 12 March 2026.

The landlord gave evidence that the tenant has not paid this invoice. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I accept the landlord’s evidence.

The landlord’s claim for outstanding water rates invoices is granted for $59.75. Filing fee & name suppression

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. For the same reason, I must grant their request for name suppression.
