Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay Accurate Infrastructure Solutions Limited $258.00 immediately, being.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by videoconference.
The tenant has provided a copy of the tenancy agreement between he and the landlord. The agreement was for a fixed term from 17 March 2023 to 17 March 2024, after which it became a periodic tenancy. 1 1 S.60A(1) RTA
The tenant gave the landlord notice to vacate on Saturday 13 July 2024, that he would move out “this Sunday” and says he moved out the following day Sunday 14 July.
The property manager says she got that message on the Monday 15 July and txt the tenant to say he should give 28 days’ notice. She asked for confirmation that the tenant wanted to end the tenancy Sunday 21 July. The tenant’s reply was “Yes.”
The tenant says that he had to move out because the landlord was wrongly trying to charge him retrospectively for electricity costs and that he made it clear he was moving out on 14 July.
The version of the RTA that applied in July 2024 required that tenants give 28 days’ notice to end a periodic tenancy. 2
Whether his notice specified Sunday 14 July or Sunday 21 July, less than the required 28 days’ notice was given. The landlord is entitled to rent to 21 July. The landlord has provided a rent summary proving the week’s rent owed to that date. The tenant agrees that he did not pay rent for that week. Electricity Charges
The tenant is only responsible for, “.....outgoings in respect of the premises that are exclusively attributable to the tenant’s occupation of the premises or to the tenant’s use of the facilities.” 3
The landlord’s evidence does not show that the tenant had agreed to pay for utility charges in addition to the rent. It does not show what charges were, “...exclusively attributable to the tenant’s occupation of the premises or to the tenant’s use of the facilities.” That claim is dismissed. Cleaning Charges
Evidence provided by the tenant suggests that he left the premises in reasonably clean and tidy condition. 4 The landlord has not provided evidence that proves that he didn’t. That claim is dismissed. 2 S.51(2B) RTA 3 S.39 RTA 4 See s.40(1)(e)(iii) RTA
Because Accurate Infrastructure Solutions Limited has had the rent claim upheld I reimburse the filing fee.
