Order

Christopher Ashby must pay Shelter Realty Limited As Agent For Lin Jiang $440.81 immediately as calculated in the table below. If the payment is not made in full on or before Tuesday 27 May 2025 the balance will be enforceable as a monetary order.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,795.15 (5254702-002) to Shelter Realty Limited As Agent For Lin Jiang immediately.

Reasons

Kevin Zhao attended for the Applicant.
Christopher Ashby did not attend. There was no answer on two attempts to contact him on the supplied phone number.
The landlord has applied for rent and water rates arrears and has provided records which show the amount owing. I am satisfied that the amounts awarded are correct.
The applicant’s representative requested a higher award for water rates than was reflected in the evidence filed at the time of application. During the hearing the applicant’s representative undertook to provide updated records to the registry following the hearing. No updated records were received after the hearing.
On Monday 26 May 2025 the registry sent my directions instructing the applicants representative to provide the records referred to during the hearing by 12pm on Tuesday 27 May 2025. No response was received.
For the reasons above, the total award in this order is restricted to the amount of water rates arrears for which evidence has been provided for in the file.
During the hearing the applicant’s representative advised that he was no longer seeking termination and would instead like the bond refunded towards the rent arrears and outstanding water rates and a monetary order for the balance.
I explained to the applicant’s representative that if I made such an order that the bond would not be available for the landlord to claim from at any other point during the tenancy, or at its conclusion, unless it was collected from the respondent again. The applicant acknowledged this.
The tribunal does not typically make orders like this, but I am minded to oblige the request of the landlords agent given that they are the only party disadvantaged by it.
