Filing Fee Lawns And Garden Work

Order

Nicole Marjori Neilson and Waipapa Kahukura Neilson must pay Hon Fai Chan $390.44 immediately, for lawn and garden work and filing fee, as calculated, and shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Lawns and Garden work$370.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award$390.44 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$390.44

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The landlord had a previous Tenancy Tribunal hearing, ( Order number 4698770) before Adjudicator Young on 19 October 2023. That hearing was a claim for rent arrears.
The landlord is seeking in this hearing to claim a short fall in the rent arrears ordered by Adjudicator Young. I have advised that I cannot deal with any further claims relating to that hearing and rent arrears. The landlord must go back to Tenancy Services for advice.
Adjudicator Young was very specific in his order of 19 October 2023 about the amount of rent arrears he ordered. I do not know the circumstances of that hearing and the evidence Adjudicator Young heard to make his assessment of the quantum of the claim.
I am putting aside the landlord’s claim for $128.57 for a short fall in rent arrears and I am not considering it in this hearing.

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 photographs of the condition of the garden and lawns at the end of the tenancy and an invoice dated 23 October 2023 for $370.00 to clean up the gardens.
The lawns were overgrown, and the gardens were untidy. The tenant left a rubbish pit and composting bin at the property. The landlord had to remove the rubbish pit and take the garden waste to the rubbish dump.
I find the landlord has proven their claim for the lawns and garden clean up and should be compensated for the costs incurred.
The landlord is not seeking suppression of his name and details.
Because Hon Fai Chan has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
