Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Shelter Realty Limited $0.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 18 May 2026.
The Bond Centre is to pay $2,706.54 from the bond of $3,000.00 (BN-17100786) to Shelter Realty Limited immediately.
The balance of the bond of $293.46 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

On 18 May 2026 the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. Ms Reseda Zheng, Property Manager, appeared for the landlord. The tenant failed to appear. The Tribunal was satisfied the tenant had been properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.
At the hearing the landlord withdrew their claim for termination of the tenancy. They told the Tribunal the tenant informed them he had vacated the property on 18 May 2026 and did not intend to return. The tenant did not give the required 21 days’ notice. The landlord confirmed they have recovered possession of the property.
The landlord also sought to amend their claim to include compensation for outstanding water rates, cleaning costs, rubbish removal costs, and lawn mowing. The Tribunal declined to amend the landlord’s claim. Section 91(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 states that the notice of hearing must fairly inform the tenant of the substance of the matters to be dealt with at the hearing. The tenant has not been made aware of the landlord’s intention to seek outstanding water rates and compensation. The principles of fairness and natural justice apply. The tenant must be given time to properly prepare for the hearing by being fairly informed of the landlord’s claims and being provided with all evidential material on which the landlord intends to rely. The landlord is not prevented from filing a fresh application in respect of these claims.

How much is owed in rent arrears?

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The amount claimed is ordered. Other matters
Because Shelter Realty Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
