Order
- Aaron James Muilwyk must pay Progressive Realty Group Limited $7,191.57 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $540.00 (3192490-018) to Progressive Realty Group Limited immediately.
Reasons
- The tenancy commenced on 24 November 2011 at a weekly rent of $420 and ended on 17 April 2026. The landlord originally applied for termination due to rent arrears but now seeks recovery of outstanding rent.
- The hearing proceeded by video conference. The landlord attended. The tenant did not attend. I am satisfied the tenant was properly served and it was appropriate to proceed in their absence. Findings
- Under section 40(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, the tenant is required to pay rent when due. The landlord provided a rent summary showing arrears of $7,703.57 at the end of the tenancy. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I accept this claim as proved.
- As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
