Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing. There was no appearance for the tenant.
- The landlord had applied for termination and rent arrears, but at this morning’s hearing, Ms Yu advised that the rent has been paid and they no longer seek termination. The applications for rent arrears and termination are therefore withdrawn.
- The landlord provided water invoices which prove that the tenant owes $1,037.41 for water. That amount is proved.
- Because Vng Rentals Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
