Order
- The landlord must email the updated rent and water ledgers to the tenant immediately.
- Angela Hape to pay Far North Circle Real Estate Limited $1,256.57 from the bond, calculated as shown in table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay $1,256.57 from the bond of $2,400.00 (BN- 07645925) to Far North Circle Real Estate Limited immediately.
- The balance of the bond of $1,143.43 is to remain at the Bond Centre.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing held remotely today. I telephoned the tenant however the phone went to voicemail. I continued with the hearing as the tenant has been emailed notice of the hearing date and time to her address for service.
- The landlord first applied for termination of the tenancy and payment of rent arrears.
- The landlord’s evidence is that the tenancy ended on 27 January 2026.
- The landlord has provided rent records and a water bills ledger. These have not yet been sent to the tenant.
- I award the claim for rent owing as showing on the ledger because the tenant is aware this claim is being made. This is $1,228.57.
- If the tenant thinks the rent ledger is wrong, she may apply for a rehearing because she has not seen the ledger yet. She should also provide evidence to show what is incorrect.
- I do not award the claim for water bills because this claim was not included in the application and the tenant has not yet seen the final invoice. The landlord may include this in any future claim.
- I award the filing fee.
- The total to pay is $1,256.57 which is refunded from the bond on this order.
- The balance of the bond will remain at the Bond Centre.
- No suppression orders were sought or apply.
- The landlord and tenant are free to come to an agreement about the water bills and any other costs. They could then sign a Bond Refund form together and send this to the Bond Centre or agree at mediation.
