Order

No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
Chantelle Pania Stewart must pay Linda Joan Murray and Rachel Elizabeth Murray $901.44 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,754.00 (5863155003) to Linda Joan Murray and Rachel Elizabeth Murray immediately.

Reasons

The Tribunal must consider an application filed by the landlord, and the relevant law that applies is found in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”). DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears as at end of tenancy$2,635.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award$2,655.44 Minus bond- $1,754.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$901.44
Only the landlord appeared at the hearing. I am satisfied that the tenant has been property notified of the hearing, and therefore I will proceed to consider the claim in her absence.
The tenancy agreement records that the landlord is Linda Murray, and the tenant Chantelle Stewart. I understand the premises has been managed by Rachel Murray. The tenancy commenced on 29 November 2021 and is a periodic tenancy.
The tenancy has ended. While the landlord gave notice ending the tenancy so a family member could move into the premises, it is the case that the tenant in the intervening period gave notice. On the evidence available I consider the date that notice was given by the tenant should be accepted as 16 April 2023.
The landlord has applied to the Tribunal for orders in relation to rent arrears and damage to the premises, but by the time of the hearing wished to limit the claim to a claim for rent arrears and bond release only.
As noted above, the tenant gave notice (I accept) on 16 April 2023. The tenant needed to give 28 days notice, so would be liable for rent over that period, even though she moved out earlier.
The rent was paid to 12 April 2023, so therefore the tenant is liable for another 31 days of rent payments. I have calculated that to be $2,635.00. That is ordered. Bond
The landlord has claimed for a release of the bond. As I noted at the hearing, the records provided by Tenancy Services included a bond number, which was incorrect (the system did not relate that number to a bond). As I said I would do, following the hearing I have contacted the Bond Centre to track down the bond. The Bond Centre confirmed that the bond number for this tenancy is 5863155-003, and the Bond Centre has recorded receiving $1,754.00 of bond, so I order that be released to the landlord immediately.
