Reasons
- The hearing was conducted on Microsoft Teams.
- The landlord’s authorised person attended by video link.
- The tenant did not join by video link. The Tribunal telephoned the tenant, but she did not answer her phone.
- The Tribunal gave the tenant notice of the hearing in accordance with the Act and sent her reminders. The hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
- The landlord applies for rent arrears. The tenant never paid the landlord any rent. The rent records prove the tenant owes the landlord $5,200.00 for rent arrears.
- Because the landlord has wholly succeeded in its claim, the Tribunal must order the tenant to reimburse the landlord for the filing fee.
