Reasons
- Only the landlord attended today’s hearing. The tenant did not attend by video or phone. The tenant was called on the numbers in the application but none of the calls were answered. I am satisfied that the tenant was given notice of today’s hearing and have proceeded in their absence.
- The landlord has is claiming for $1599.18 for water rates.
- The tenants are liable for water rates in the tenancy agreement.
- Up until May 2025 the water rates were usually paid on time. However, since that date the tenant has only paid $406.45 towards water rates leaving a balance of $1599.18 outstanding.
- I am satisfied that the tenant is alible for the water rates and award that amount.
- As the landlord has been successful, I also award the landlord the filing fee.
