Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Maxine Lavea, Grace Tuitui and Valogae Etuale must pay The Worx Property Management Limited as agent for Hanifa Bibi $2159.89, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The tenant ended on 27 November 2023.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The bond has already been paid to the landlord in reduction of rent owing.

How much is owed for rent and water?

The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, as ordered above.

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 had to replace light bulbs and smoke alarm batteries.
The amounts ordered above are proven. I have reduced the amount claimed to reflect the notation on the invoice for cleaning to a “deep clean”. A landlord is not entitled to claim the cost of a deep clean from a tenant, only the cost of remedying the tenant’s failure to leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
Because The Worx Property Management Limited as agent for Hanifa Bibi has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. The landlord has not asked for name suppression.
