The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,480.00 (3539139-002) to Varun Pal Singh Bhatti immediately.

Reasons

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven his claim for rent arrears and water bills.

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 tenant did not return the keys.
The landlord provided the Tribunal with photographs that show the property was not left in a reasonably clean and tidy condition and that rubbish was left throughout the inside and outside of the property.

The bond is to be refunded to the landlord to offset the debt owed to the landlord by the tenant.
Because Varun Pal Singh Bhatti has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
