Filing Fee Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Joseph Darrell Vance Slade and Chloe Rapata must pay [The landlord/s] $283.44 immediately, being rent arrears to 17 March 2023.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend the hearing. The hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation for installing the oven/cooktop and removal of the flexibin.
The landlord provided a rent summary which proves the amount of rent arrears owing. I note that the landlord had reduced the rent to $300.00 per week following the floods in Auckland. The tenant gave notice on 31 January 2023 to end the tenancy on 8 March 2023. The landlord’s evidence is that the tenant asked for an extension until 17 March 2023 and that is the date when the tenant is responsible for rent arrears.
The landlord claimed the cost of installing a new cooktop/oven purchased by the tenant. Apparently, this was purchased by the tenant because the tenant had broken the buttons and switches of the previous cooktop/oven. In such circumstances the tenant may be liable for repairs but not necessarily for complete replacement of the appliance.
There was no evidence about the damage to the previous cooktop/oven. I am therefore not satisfied that the tenant should be liable for installation costs of a new appliance that the tenant has purchased. The landlord has the benefit of a new appliance and therefore should meet the cost of installation. The claim for installation costs is dismissed.
The tenant had purchased a flexibin but had failed to arrange for its collection. The landlord paid for the bin to be collected and seeks reimbursement. On the evidence I am satisfied that this was an expense that the tenant should have been liable for.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed.
