Order

Lilian Marian Roberts must pay River City Rentals Limited $1,177.19 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant contacted the Tribunal and said that she could not attend as she was in another city caring for a relative.
The tenant was advised that the Tribunal would call her to discuss her request. No application for adjournment was received.
The tenant was called on the phone number contained in the application form. It went to voice mail. No further communications were received and the hearing continued in the tenant’s absence.
The tenancy began on 15 December 2023 and the landlord confirmed that the tenant had moved in. One payment of rent was received on 22 December 2023. The landlord did not receive payment of the bond which was expected from WINZ.
The tenant contacted the landlord on 21 December 2023 giving her notice to end the tenancy. A copy of this text was provided. The landlord reduced the notice period form 28 days to 21 days and sought rent to 11 January 2024.
The landlord has also applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 11 January 2024 being 21 days after the tenant gave notice terminating the tenancy. A tenant of a periodic tenancy is required to give at least 28 days’ notice to end a tenancy see section 51(2B) Residential Tenancies Act 1986,RTA.
The landlord reduced the notice period and provided rent records prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must return all keys and security devices, See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant did not return the keys. An invoice for the keys purchases and work to install was provided.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because River City Rentals Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
