An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant and the Landlord’s name and identifying details.

[The tenant] owes [The landlord] $7,062.55 (“the debt”), calculated as set out in the table below:

[The tenant] must repay the debt as follows: a. By 542 weekly payments of $10.00 and one final payment of $2.55. b. Payments will be every Thursday, with the first payment on 09/07/2026 and continuing until 27/11/2036.

If the tenant fails to make the debt repayment within 5 working days of the due dates the balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

The tenant undertakes to increase the debt repayment amounts where his financial circumstances allow.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,640.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord] immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee and refund of the bond following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 6 June 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.

The tenant did not remove all rubbish, due to a serious health condition.

The amounts ordered are proved. Reimbursement of filing fee

Section 102(4) of the RTA confirms that applicants that are wholly or substantially successful in proving their claims will have their filing fee reimbursed.

Because [The applicant] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression

The landlord applies for non-publication of its name and identifying details.

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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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 has wholly succeeded in its proceedings. I do not consider publication is in the public interest or justified because of the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

Non-publication of the landlord’s name and identifying details is ordered.

The evidence supports the tenant having gotten into arrears due to a sudden and serious health issue that has resulted in financial duress. But for this issue, the tenant has been a reliable tenant that has paid his rent in full and on time. Therefore, the Tribunal exercises its discretion to grant the tenant name suppression, as it considers the potential negative impact on the tenant’s future ability to get a new tenancy outweighs any public interest in having the tenant’s name and identifying details published in this order.

Non-publication of the tenant’s name is therefore ordered.
