RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 1997 - SECT 91X

Tribunal may determine parties' liability under terminated residential rental agreement

    (1)     If the Tribunal makes an order under section 91W(1) or (1A), the Tribunal may determine the liability of the person specified in section 91V(2) or any renter under the existing residential rental agreement in relation to—

        (a)     a bond paid for the rented premises; and

        (b)     any existing liability under the existing agreement, including—

              (i)     liability relating to outstanding rent; and

              (ii)     liability relating to damage caused to the rented premises; and

              (iii)     liability relating to outstanding utility charges.

    (2)     To remove doubt, the termination of a residential rental agreement under section 91W does not give rise to a right to claim compensation on the part of any party to the agreement for early termination of the agreement.

    (3)     The Tribunal may adjourn the hearing to allow an inspection of the rented premises in accordance with section 86(1)(g).
