Reasons
- The hearing was conducted on Microsoft Teams.
- John He attended for the landlord. The tenant did not attend.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee, and payment over of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy must be terminated under s 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Mr He was content for termination to be delayed one week to give the tenant time to move out.
- The landlord provided rent and water records which prove the amounts the tenant owes for rent and water in arrears.
- I add the additional rent that the tenant will owe at the end of the tenancy on 23 April 2025 to this order in the interest of simplicity.
- The tenant must reimburse the landlord for the filing fee.
- The Tribunal directs the Bond Centre to pay out the bond to the landlord in part- payment of what the tenant owes the landlord under this order.
