- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,680.00 (BN-00023264) to Quality Rental Management Limited As Agent For Willian Ariawan immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- The landlord had not applied for termination of the tenancy, so I have not made a termination or possession order. However, the parties confirmed that the fixed term tenancy is due to end this Friday, 13 February 2026. I have awarded rent to the end of the tenancy and refunded the bond to the landlord.
- As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
