Order

[The tenants] must pay [the landlord] $5,939.73 immediately, calculated as shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 19 July 2023$4,583.76 Water rates$123.03 Moving house contents to garage$862.50 Cleaning invoice$350.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award to the landlord$5,939.73

Reasons

[The property manager] attended the hearing for the landlord.
The tenants attended in person.
The landlord has applied for rent and arrears, compensation, payment over of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent arrears?

The tenancy ended on 9 July 2023, although the tenants remained in the premises until 17 July 2024.
The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices and gave evidence which proves the amount owing for arrears at the end of the tenancy. The water arrears are reduced by 50 percent to account for a water leak.

Did the tenants comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

When the tenancy ends, tenants must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and remove all their belongings .
The tenants did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all their belongings.
The landlord produced invoices for the cost of moving the house contents to the garage after the tenants moved out and for cleaning.
The landlord’s costs are proven. Filing fee
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded in its application, the Tribunal must order the tenants to reimburse the filing fee. Non-publication order
The landlord seeks non-publication.
The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. 1
The landlord wholly succeeded in the proceedings. I do not consider that publication is in the public interest or is justified by the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA), s 95A(1).
The Tribunal may on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
I have decided that it is in the interests of the tenants and in the public interest to order non-publication of the tenants’ identifying particulars. The tenants got behind on rent due to unforeseen personal circumstances. Importantly, the tenants have not tried to evade their obligations. When the tenancy ended, they owed the landlord over $15,000.00 in rent arrears. Today, those arrears have been reduced by more than $10,000.00.
If the Tribunal did not suppress publication of the tenants’ names, they would be at risk of not finding suitable rental accommodation, which would be unfair to them in the circumstances.
Non-publication of the tenants’ identifying details including the tenancy address is ordered.
