Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
- By consent, the tenant is to pay the landlord $1,000.00 from the bond, immediately, being rent arrears and contributions to a door repair and carpet issues.
- By consent, the Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows: [The tenant/s] tenant/s] landlord/s]: $1,000.00 [The tenant/s] tenant/s] tenant/s]: $800.00
Reasons
- [The tenant/s] tenant/s] tenant/s], the tenant, and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] landlord’s representative/s], representing the landlord, all attended the video conference hearing.
- The tenant has applied for refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and refund of the bond.
- At the start of the hearing, the parties agreed to settle matters between themselves with the tenant paying $1,000.00 from the bond to cover rent arrears and contributions to a door repair and to carpet issues.
- The parties agreed that the landlord is to receive $1,000.00 from the bond, as outlined above, and the tenant is to receive the balance of the bond, being $800.00.
- The parties agree that this consent order is in full and final settlement of the tenancy matters between them. Suppression
- The landlord requested name suppression. The tenant did not request name suppression. As the parties have reached agreement about the terms of a consent order, I find the landlord’s interests outweigh the public interest in publishing their name. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details are not to be published. See section 95A(4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
