Order

[The tenant/s] must pay PGG Wrightson Real Estate Limited As Agent For Nossas Casas Limited $2770.44 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The tenant failed to make herself available by phone for the teleconference. Three attempts were made to telephone her. I am satisfied that she was aware of the hearing.
The landlord claims for he costs incurred due to the tenant failing to notify them of a leak in the laundry.
The evidence is that the landlord’s agent noticed immediately on an inspection that the kitchen and laundry floor was very soft and that something was wrong.
A builder’s report was submitted that was very helpful in the explanation of the damage.
I am advised that the tenant was aware that something may have been wrong given the feel of the flooring and failed to notify property manager. However, it is uncertain how long it had been like that and if by that time the damage was already done. However clearly there was an issue, and the tenant did not report this. The builders report noted mould was developing.
The landlords insurance will not pay for all repairs as the evidence is that it was a slow leak. A cash pay out figure was agreed to. The landlord therefore seeks an order from the tribunal for the tenant to pay the difference in the costs of the repairs, $3,548.90.
The costs include a builder’s invoice for the damage to the flooring in the kitchen and the laundry, the reinstallation of the laundry tub that needed to be removed because of the damage and the flooring itself.
The landlord claims that this amount of work would not have been required if the tenant notified of the leak. It can not be determined at what stage the tenant knew there was an issue. I have taken this into consideration and also depreciation into account. I am advised that the flooring would be about ten years old with no damage. The replacement is for new flooring.
Taking all factors into account I make the award as outlined for the tenant to contribute to the costs.
