Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears Rubbish Removal Water Rates

Order

Markus Blum and Carolyn Hanson must pay [The landlord/s] $22,899.84 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 5 July 2023. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy as recorded above.

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 made an effort to leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. However I accepted the landlord’s submissions that some general areas were not left reasonably clean and tidy, including kitchen drawers and cupboards, the oven, and the garage which was unable to be cleaned because it still had the tenant’s belongings in it. The landlord sought $1,092.50 for cleaning costs. This amount has been reduced in the order.
The landlord sought costs for rubbish removal. The original quote supplied was for $700.00 but when the work came to be done, there was more rubbish found around the back of the house and the landlord was charged $1,000.50. The tenant submitted that the landlord should have insisted on the price in the original quote. However, that would have left more rubbish to be removed.
The landlord sought costs for carpet cleaning due to stains and smells left from a pet dog that was included on the tenancy agreement. The tenant had arranged to have a carpet-cleaner clean discrete areas of the carpet at a cost of $270.00, but due to what the tenant considered to be interference from the landlord, the tenant cancelled this arrangement. The landlord had all the carpets cleaned and I accept in the circumstances this was the only sensible option.
The landlord sought costs for window cleaning. This claim was not proved and I dismiss it accordingly.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The landlord/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
