Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the [Tenant/Landlord] name and identifying details.
Jarad Jason Fletcher to pay Inspire Real Estate Limited $1,334.92 immediately, calculated as follows:

Reasons

The Landlord attended the hearing by phone. The Tenant could not be contacted.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section DescriptionLandlord Changing locks$190.90 Cleaning$162.50 Rubbish removal (skip bin)$330.00 Furniture removal (picnic table inside premises)$276.00 Mini Oven Replacement$169.00 Reglazing$186.08 Application filing fee$20.44 Total award$1,334.92 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The Landlord claims as follows:
Changing locks $190.90 – the Tenant did not return the keys. The Landlord’s evidence is unchallenged, and it has provided a paid invoice to support its claim. Approved.
Cleaning $162.50 – The Landlord’s photographs and evidence suggest the premises were not left reasonably clean and tidy. The Tenant left the home without cleaning it. The Landlord has provided a paid invoice. Approved.
Skip Bin $330.00 - The Landlord had to arrange to remove the Tenant’s rubbish and property which he had left behind. An entire skip bin was filled with just rubbish the Landlord says. The property removed was of little value and contact could not be made with the Tenant. He was arrested and is now in prison. The Landlord was left to take out the trash and has provided a paid invoice for the skip bin. Approved.
Labour for removal of furniture $276.00 – The Tenant installed a picnic table inside the home. It is unclear how he got it inside the home, but it was for outdoor dining. The cost of disassembling and removing the table came to $276.00. The Landlord has provided a paid invoice for this. Approved.
Micasa 35L Mini Oven Replacement $169.00 - The mini oven was new at the commencement of the tenancy and was not working at the end. The Landlord has provided a receipt for purchase of a replacement mini oven. Approved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A window has been broken during the tenancy and the Tenant has accepted responsibility for it. The cost of reglazing was $186.08. The Landlord has provided a paid invoice.
Because Inspire Real Estate Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
