Reasons

The Landlord seeks orders terminating the tenancy and granting possession to her. She also seeks to recover rent arrears and unpaid water rates.

The Tenant did not attend the hearing despite receiving a Notice of Hearing notifying her of the time and date of the hearing. I also called the Tenant at the start of the hearing. She did not answer.

The Landlord advises that the Tenant moved out of the premises on 21 June 2026. The Landlord has provided a letter, which she says is from the Tenant. confirming that the Tenant moved out on that day. The Landlord therefore seeks to recover unpaid rent up to that date only.

Nonetheless, in the absence of confirmation from the Tenant that the tenancy is at an end, I will proceed on the basis that the tenancy is ongoing and orders terminating the tenancy and granting possession to the Landlord are required to bring this tenancy to an end. The rent arrears

The Landlord has produced the tenancy agreement, a rent summary and bank account records. Those documents show: (a)The tenancy started on 11 February 2026. (b)The rent was $780 per week. (c)The Tenant paid a bond of $3,120. (d)The last rent payment was made on 14 May 2026. (e)The Tenant has missed all rent payments since, and now owes $4,145.71 in unpaid rent.

I accept that evidence and find that the Tenant owes the Landlord $4,145.71 in rent arrears. Termination and possession

During the tenancy, and before filing this claim, the Landlord served four notices on the Tenant relating to unpaid rent. Because the rent is now in arrears by at least 21 days, I must make an order terminating the tenancy. 1 I see no basis for making this order conditional. 2 I cannot be satisfied that the Tenant will promptly remedy this breach or that a similar breach will not occur in the future. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 55(1)(a). 2 Under section 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, I can make a termination order conditional, but only if I am satisfied that the tenant will pay the rent within a specified time and that it is unlikely that the tenant will fail to pay the rent in the future.

I order that the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 effective immediately. Possession is also granted to the Landlord. 3 Water rates

The Landlord also seeks to recover the following water charges, as set out in two invoices from Veolia: (a) $24.57 for unpaid water rates up to 21 May 2026; and (b) $51.75 for unpaid water rates up to 24 June 2026.

Those invoices include amounts for fixed sewer charges ($24.57 in the May invoice and $30.03 for the June invoice). The Tenant has no liability for those amounts as those charges are the Landlord’s responsibility because those charges are fixed charges that are: (a)incurred irrespective of whether the premises are occupied; 4 and (b) not imposed on the basis of consumption. 5

The Landlord is entitled to recover the consumption based component of the June invoice. I therefore order that the Tenant must pay $21.72 to the Landlord for unpaid water charges. Filing fee and name suppression

The Landlord has been successful in her claim. She is entitled to recover the filing fee of $28. I also order that the Landlord’s name and identifying details are suppressed. Bond

I order that the Bond Centre is to refund the bond of $3,120 to the Landlord.
