Order

Karan Ann Pierson must pay Otautahi Community Housing Trust $3,945.22 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended this remote teleconference hearing.
Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. The calls went to voicemail. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given.
The application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy. The tenancy ended on 23 June 2023 and the application was filed on 28 September 2023.
The landlord advised that she had been given the tenants new address details personally by the tenant within the two months prior to the application being filed ( see s.91A (2)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and compensation following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy on 23 June 2023 was $1,124.71.

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 - See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The landlord provided photos of both the interior and exterior of the premises which show that the tenant has left the premises in very poor condition. Rubbish and personal belongings have been left by the tenant. The amounts claimed for rubbish removal are relatively high, but fairly reflect the condition that the premises were left in. The tenant has been charged for half of the actual cleaning cost ($460.00).
The tenant did not return the keys. An invoice for $172.50 was provided.
Since ending the tenancy the tenant has paid $50.00 to the landlord as a contribution towards the costs incurred by the landlord. That sum has been factored into the final sum owing by the tenant.
