Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,985.68 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,380.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing.
A court appointed Fijian interpreter was scheduled. Her entry was delayed for 25 minutes due to technical problems she experienced. Given the tenant did not appear the absence/delay did not hinder the hearing. On her entry she was advised her services would not be required.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, outgoings, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The application had sought termination, but the tenancy had already ended with possession returned to the landlord.
The landlord provided other invoice details and exit photos just before the hearing. Any further landlord claims are to form in a further application to the Tribunal.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 14 May 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The rent summary accounts for three payments received at the end, or after the tenancy, and then reversed out. At least one amount and date align with a ledger entry for “damages”. The landlord could not show any tenant authority for any money paid to be applied in such a way.
The rent summary to 22 April 2026 is settled at $3,570.00 and I award that in this order. The landlord may seek rent arrears from after that date until the end of the tenancy, with appropriate evidence accounting for any tenant payments or handling, in the next application.
The water rates are accepted. Filing fee
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been substantially successful, suppression is ordered.
