Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Joshua Tabb must pay Jason Daniel Marshall $1,871.83 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $600.00 (5876423-001) to Jason Daniel Marshall immediately.

Reasons

Mr Marshall attended the hearing by teleconference. Mr Tabb did not attend.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation for electricity invoices, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

Has service been effected?

As the landlord’s application was filed more than than two months after the tenancy ended, the initial hearing, on 23 August 2023, was adjourned to enable service to be effected under s91A(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The tenant did not respond to any of the landlord’s usual methods of contact, being email or telephone. The landlord attempted to obtain a current physical address for the tenant but without success.
Mr Marshall provided evidence of contact with Mr Tabb’s father who confirmed that his son had stayed with him briefly following the end of the tenancy but was now overseas. Mr Tabb’s father further confirmed that he was able to forward information to his son via a third party. Mr Tabb’s father provided both a physical address and an email address as methods for contact.
Tenancy Services arranged a process server who confirmed in writing that he served the documents on Mr Tabb’s father at the address provided on 11 September 2023.
I am satisfied, under section 92B of the Act, that the landlord has made all reasonable efforts to serve the documents and, further, that the documents served on the tenant’s father are likely to have been brought to Mr Tabb’s attention.
The documents are to be treated as served on 11 September 2023 under section 91B(2)(b) of the Act.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 12 March 2023.
The fixed term tenancy ended on 12 February 2023 with one of the tenants moving out of the property on that date or before. The landlord provided evidence of text messages from Mr Tabb requesting an extension of the term for an additional month to enable him to find alternative accommodation. Mr Marshall agreed to an extension to 12 March 2023.
No rent was paid for this additional month and the landlord arranged with Mr Tabb to visit the premises to make a payment plan for the arrears. Mr Marshall visited the premises at the arranged time to discover that Mr Tabb had moved out of the property shortly before.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, being $2340.00.

How much is owed for electricity?

The landlord provided evidence of unpaid electricity invoices for the four-week extension to the tenancy from 12 February to 12 March 2023 amounting to $111.39.
The amount ordered is proved. Filing fee
As Jason Daniel Marshall has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
