The landlord may dispose of the other goods left at the premises by the tenant as the landlord sees fit.

Reasons

The Tribunal must consider an application filed by the landlord, and the relevant law that applies is found in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).

Only the landlord appeared at the hearing. I am satisfied that the tenant has been property notified of the hearing, and therefore I will proceed to consider the claim in their absence.

RENT ARREARS

The landlord has applied for an order that the tenant pay rent arrears totalling $1,514.29.

The landlord has provided the Tribunal with a rent ledger. I have no reason to consider that record to be incorrect.

The landlord has established that the tenant is in arrears to the amount claimed, and that is ordered in full.

POWER CHARGES

The landlord has claimed $180.68 for the power used at the premises for the period from October 2022 until the end of the tenancy.

The tenant is liable for utilities like power used at the tenancy.

I accept the landlords claim which is ordered in full.

CLEANING AND RUBBISH REMOVAL

The Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) requires that the landlord provide the premises to the tenant at the start of the tenancy in a reasonable state of cleanliness (s45(1)(a)), and there is an equivalent obligation on the tenant to return the premises: ...in a reasonably clean and reasonably tidy condition, and remove or arrange for the removal from the premises of all rubbish.

The landlord has claimed for costs for cleaning the tenancy, and packing the tenants belongings which had been left on the premises, and placing the items in storage.

The landlord has presented an invoice from Joniz Smart Solution dated 21 May 2023 for this work. The claim is established. The tenant was required to remove all belongings, and have the premises reasonably clean and tidy at the end of the tenancy. The claim seems reasonable, and is ordered in full to the sum of $431.25

The landlord has claimed $115.00 for carpet cleaning costs, to address minor staining on the carpets as shown in the photograph provided. This claim is established and ordered in full.

COMPENSATION

With any claim for compensation, to receive an order the party must incur a loss. In short the compensation is intended as best money can do, to compensate for the actual loss incurred.

The landlord states that the tenant did not return a range of items at the end of the tenancy including two access cards, a mailbox key, two mattress protectors and six working light bulbs. At the end of the tenancy the tenant was required to return all chattels provided by the landlord. Failing to do so means the tenant is liable for those replacement costs. This claim seems reasonable in terms of the amounts and is ordered in full.

DISPOSAL OF GOODS

The tenant has left goods on the premises. The landlord advised they are not of any value. The Tribunal makes an order that the landlord can dispose of those goods held in storage.

FILING FEE

Because the applicant has been wholly successful in their application, I must award the filing paid to commence the proceeding in the Tribunal, which is $20.44.

NAME SUPPRESSION

There is no application for name suppression.
