Reasons

Background

The tenancy began on 13 June 2018 and ended on 1 June 2023.
The landlord’s application seeks a small amount of rent arrears, and substantial cleaning, rubbish removal, and carpet replacement costs.
The hearing took place in Kaikohe on 14 December 2023.
Ms Loane and Ms Timmins represented the landlord at the hearing. There was no appearance by the tenant. Rent
Rent was paid to 30 May 2023, but the tenant did not leave the property until 1 June 2023.
The claim for two days of rent arrears is proven. Cleaning, rubbish removal
At the end of the tenancy tenants must remove all rubbish and leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
Ms Timmins provided photographs that were taken after Ms Tukaki vacated.
The photographs show that the premises were left in a very untidy condition. Ms Tukaki left behind substantial amounts of rubbish and abandoned belongings.
Disposal of the rubbish required two 9m3 skip bins.
The costs of cleaning and rubbish removal are proven and are fair and reasonable having regard to the landlord’s photographs. Carpet
The carpet was dirty and heavily stained with a red substance. Professional cleaning could not remove the staining.
The extent of staining is such that replacement of the carpet is justified.
The cost of replacing the carpet (lounge and two bedrooms) was $2,950.00 per an invoice from P & P Contractors.
Ms Loane submitted that the carpet was approximately 7 years old at the end of the tenancy.
I will apply depreciation of 50% to the replacement cost claimed. Curtains and blinds
The curtains were stained and smelled bad.
The venetian blinds in the kitchen and laundry were missing at the end of the tenancy.
The claim for replacement of the curtains and blinds is proven.
The claim seeks $251.84 for replacing the curtains and $204.80 for replacing the venetian blinds. Ms Loane confirmed that the curtains and blinds were in the property when the tenancy began in 2018.
I will apply depreciation of 75% to the cost of replacing the curtains and 50% to the cost of replacing the blinds. Heat pump remote
The heat pump remote was missing at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord has not yet been able to locate a replacement remote. The claim for compensation of $100.00 is reasonable and conservative. Filing fee, bond
The landlord has been successful in this application and I must award the landlord the filing fee of $20.44.
The proven claim exceeds the bond. The bond will be released to the landlord.
