Pulling tribunal records

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today.

The landlord explained that he had personally handed the application form, documents, and notice of hearing to the tenants yesterday at 595 Great South Road, Papakura.

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?

The tenancy ended on 21 June 2023. The landlord provided rent records and water 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?

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.

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The photographs show a need for cleaning to the kitchen floor, cupboards, and oven, and to the carpets in the hallway, lounge, and bedrooms. They also show a large quantity of rubbish left behind inside and outside the garage.

The tenant did not return the keys or garage remotes, which had to be replaced.

A rubber matting was stuck to the wooden deck outside and had to be removed by a builder.

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 did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission.

A bedroom window was broken. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. The cost of repair is less than the insurance excess. Filing fee

The landlord’s application has been successful. I award the filing fee.
