Order
- Brougan Flynn must pay Barfoot & Thompson Property Limited As Agent For Yvonne Spratt $3,870.86 immediately, as calculated in the table below:
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,600.00 (BN-00009761) to Barfoot & Thompson Property Limited As Agent For Yvonne Spratt immediately.
Reasons
- Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing which took place by MS Teams.
- The landlord applied for termination, bond, rent arrears and reimbursement of filing fee but today advised that the tenancy ended on 24 April 2026 and the tenant has vacated the premises.

- The file records that the Tribunal was contacted by someone seeking an adjournment on the tenant’s behalf. This was opposed by the landlord as they are seeking refund of the bond as soon as possible to reduce the amount owed.
- The application for adjournment is declined as there is no evidence that the rent arrears are in dispute.
- The landlord also sought to amend the claim to include vacated costs. As the invoice for these was only filed today and the tenant has not had time to consider them this amendment is declined. The landlord may file a fresh application if they wish to pursue these claims.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 24 April 2026. The bond is refunded to the landlord to reduce the tenant debt.
- Because Barfoot & Thompson Property Limited As Agent For Yvonne Spratt has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
