Cleanliness Compensation Filing Fee Rubbish Removal Property damage

Order

[The landlord/s] must pay [The tenant/s] $1,034.22 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
All remaining claims are dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord applied for compensation in relation to refinishing the wooden floor, cleaning and rubbish removal.
The tenant rented the upstairs area of the premises. Another tenant rented the downstairs area but used the kitchen upstairs as there is no kitchen downstairs.
The landlord claims that the tenant has damaged the wooden flooring with high heels. There is no way to determine whether this tenant was responsible for the damage as opposed to the other tenant given that the area was used by both.
The landlord’s claim for damage to the wooden flooring is dismissed.
The landlord claims for cleaning after the tenancy ended. The landlord produced an invoice from his company which states that two people cleaned for a total of 19 hours. The photographs produced by the landlord do not support that this amount of cleaning was required.
The tenant continued to clean and remove belongings after the tenancy ended. The landlord produced text communication which states on 7 November 2023 that house was locked up with one more carload left inside and just the trailer with rubbish.
On the evidence produced the oven required cleaning. I have therefore allowed $80.00 toward that.
The landlord claims for rubbish removal. In the text message it states that the rubbish on the trailer belongs to the tenant. I therefore award the landlord $182.45 for rubbish removal.
The landlord claimed for damage to the exterior of the premises after someone drove into the side of the building. Both this tenant and the other tenant denied responsibility. Just like the wooden flooring it is not possible to determine who was responsible for the damage. While the landlord was seeking half the costs from this tenant it would not be fair and reasonable if this tenant was not responsible at all. That claim is dismissed.
The tenant paid $1,600.00 for bond. The landlord confirmed that this money had not been lodged with the Bond Centre and has not been refunded to the tenant. The landlord still has the bond money. After deducting the costs awarded the bond is to be refunded to the tenant as awarded.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. Both parties sought suppression. As both have had some success, I suppress both names.
