Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Property damage Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

Ross Berry must pay Cotswold Property Management Limited T/As Quinovic Property Management as Agent for Mr J Robinson & Ms M Graham $5,010.15 immediately, being rent arrears to 12 September 2023, cleaning, carpet cleaning, key and lock replacement, rubbish removal and reimbursement of the filing fee, as calculated and set out below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$3,225.71 Carpet Cleaning$285.00 Rubbish removal$299.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Lock/key replacement$352.00 Cleaning$828.00 Total award$5,010.15 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$5,010.15

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend. The Tribunal rang Mr Berry twice on his mobile number 0220304012 and an old number the landlord had for him. All three calls went unanswered.
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?

The tenancy ended on 12 September 2023. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of $3225.71 owing at the end of the tenancy.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for rent arrears.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord has provided the Tribunal with invoices from A.A cleaners for $828.00 for the cost of a full clean of the house, Wow carpet cleaning invoice for $285.00 and rubbish removal costs of $299.00.
The landlord provided a final inspection report with extensive photos which show the property was left very dirty, with heavily stained carpets and rubbish inside and on the balcony of the building.
The tenant did not return the keys at the end of the tenancy. The landlord provided the Tribunal with an invoice for $352.00 for the cost of replacing the keys.
The amounts ordered are proved.
The bond has previously been refunded to the landlord for other rent arrears.
Because Cotswold Property Management Limited T/As Quinovic Property Management as Agent for Mr J Robinson & Ms M Graham has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
