Order
- Joy Filipo and Joshua Schilder must pay Jessica Pan $858.00 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,480.00 (6442966-008) to Jessica Pan immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears to the 29 th of May 2026. She tells me that on the 8 th of May at an inspection her representative found the house to have been vacated. She is seeking rent arrears 21 days from this date and has provided records showing the amount owing for this period. I am satisfied this record is correct.
- The landlord is also seeking a possession order. From what the applicant has told me, possession has already been surrendered by the respondent from at least the 8 th of May 2026. As such a possession order is redundant.
- Because the applicant has been successful in their application, I have awarded the application filing fee.
