Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The landlord advised that the tenant rented a room at these premises for a fixed term commencing on 28 August 2024 and ending on 28 February 2025.
The landlord advised that the tenant did not pay the bond required.
The landlord seeks termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. The landlord advised that another tenant informed them that Mr Wijohn was not living in the premises, however, they understand that his dogs may still be there.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at 27 January 2025 and the landlord advised that rent is sought to that date. I am satisfied on the evidence before me that the rent arears to 27 January 2025 are proved.
The landlord applied for payment of water rates.
Section 39 of The Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that a tenant is responsible for all outgoings in respect of the tenancy premises that are exclusively attributable to the tenant’s occupation of the premises or the tenant’s use of the facilities.
This was a room by room tenancy with multiple tenancy agreements in place for the different rooms. There is no separate metering system and no way the landlord can prove the usage exclusively attributable to this tenant. Therefore, the landlord has failed to prove the claim on the balance of probabilities and this claim is dismissed.
The landlord also applied for compensation for damage repairs but has withdrawn this claim in order to prepare evidence and will consider whether to file a further claim.
Because Chin Chan Hsu Huang, Chao Lung Hsu has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
