Reasons

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

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 21 September 2023. The landlord provided rent records 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 leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided photographic evidence and the tenant accepted that she did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The tenant did not return the keys.
The amounts ordered were accepted by the tenant and are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

The tenant accepted liability for repair to a hole in the garage wall and the amount claimed by the landlord is proven.
The tenant also accepted that damage to the log burner and the necessity of a clean was caused by the actions of a former tenant.
The amounts awarded to the landlord are for the period after the tenancy was ended on 25 August 2023 to 21 September 2023 when possession was ordered by the Tribunal. It is not therefore appropriate to join in the former tenant as a party to this application as his liability ended on 25 August 2023.
The landlord has applied for the disposal of goods that the tenant left at the premises at the end of the tenancy.
The tenant consented at the hearing to the landlord disposing of the remaining items.
The landlord advised that they had been unable to locate at the property any personal papers or legal documents belonging to the tenant.
The landlord may deduct any amount owing from the sale proceeds and must pay the balance (if any) to the Bond Centre. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2),(3) and (4), 62C(1)(b),(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The landlord may dispose of any goods that have no saleable value.
Because [The landlord/s] have wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
