- The sum of $1,267.44 the Bond Centre is ordered to pay to Online Rentals Limited T/A Ray White Hamilton consists of: a) $1,240.44 ordered to be paid by the tenants to the landlord under application 4805006 , and b) $27.00 for the reimbursement of the filing fee for this application.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing but the tenants did not attend.
- After the tenancy ended the landlord filed a claim for rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee (see application 4805006). The Tribunal awarded the landlord $1,220.44 and ordered the Bond Centre to pay the landlord from the bond ($3,200.00). The remainder of the bond ($1,979.56) was ordered to be held at the Bond Centre.
- The landlord filed a further application (4852540) for compensation for cleaning, garden work, repairs and the reimbursement of the filing fee. The landlord was successful in its claim and the Tribunal ordered the tenants to pay the landlord $1,240.44. The landlord did not apply for reimbursement of the amount awarded from the bond.
- The tenants have not paid the landlord. The landlord now seeks to have the amount ordered under the previous order (4852540) paid form the bond.
- As the landlord has been successful in its claim the filing fee is also awarded.
- For clarity: the landlord’s application includes the matters already determined under the previous application 4852540. The Tribunal has not reconsidered those matters as they have already been heard and determined earlier.
