Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Riverlands Real Estate Limited As Agent For Shane McKay $2,925.31 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 26 September 2023 under application 4652809. The previous order must not be enforced.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing today. The tenant did not attend however she has been notified of the hearing by email and text message, so I continued in her absence.
The tenancy ended on 3 October 2023 by previous order of the Tribunal under application 4652809. The previous order is included in this order. Only this order can be enforced.
This application is for other costs the landlord incurred after the tenancy ended.
I list the invoiced costs below:- a. Rent arrears: up to 3/10/2023 are included in the previous order. b. Water rates owing: all amounts except the final reading of $72.64 were included in the previous order. c. Lock replacement: two keys were returned but several keys were missing. I accept that the landlord had to replace two external locks for security reasons. d. Rubbish removal: various items were left outside behind the outdoor room and in the garden. The total cost to remove all items was $209.20 but the landlord claims only $52.30 (one-quarter) from the tenant as believes only some of the rubbish was hers. I accept this as a reasonable claim. e. Cleaning: the house was empty but not left reasonably clean in all areas. The kitchen and bathroom surfaces were reasonably clean but windows and sills, oven, extractor fans, some wall surfaces and the outdoor room needed cleaning. I award the claim of $350.00 for the extra areas. f. The front lawn was mowed but the back lawn was left long and needed mowing twice. I award the reasonable claim of $75.00. g. The outdoor room was damaged during the tenancy. Photos show the entrance door splintered, the sliding door mechanism broken, and approximately 11 holes in various walls (including where light switches had been pushed through into the wall cavity). The damage looks intentional. A tenant is liable for damage caused by anyone at the premises with their permission. The landlord provided an invoice showing all repairs were completed for $550.34. I award this amount in full.
The landlord is awarded the filing fee on this claim.
No suppression orders were sought.
