Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing via videoconference. The tenant did not.
- The tenant was called on his phone number ending 2506 twice but it went to voicemail both times.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water arrears and refund of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated, and possession is granted to the landlord at 11:59 pm on Wednesday 17 June 2026.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. I order the tenant to pay the landlord $11,250.00 for rent arrears to 17 June 2026.
- Further to that, I order the tenant to pay the landlord $570.68 for water rates arrears.
- Finally, because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must also reimburse the filing fee.
- The bond of $3,000.00 held at the Bond Centre will be paid to the landlord to offset the amount payable by the tenant to the landlord.
