Carpet Cleaning Filing Fee Property damage Rubbish Removal Water Rates

Order

No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
Scott Peter Brogan must pay Iron Bridge Property Management Limited as agent for Jue Xia $4,332.05 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 5 May 2023 under application 4533530.

Reasons

Ms Yates, of Iron Bridge Property Management Limited, attended as agent for the landlord. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for water rates?

The tenancy ended on 7 May 2023. The landlord provided water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish as required by section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they, or others at the premises with their permission, did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage: sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
The tenant allowed cars to be parked on a paved area resulting in cracking to several pavers. Six pavers were replaced but, as one paver was noted as cracked in the pre-tenancy inspection report, I have discounted the amount awarded for materials by one sixth. I am satisfied that the damage to five pavers occurred during the tenancy, the damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The amounts ordered are proved. Payment of the filing fee and incorporation of the previous order
As the landlord was fully successful in their claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.
On 5 May 2023 the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy for rent arrears to 7 May 2023 and filing fee reimbursement. The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.
