Order

The Estate of Shane Kelly must pay [The landlord/s] $154.94 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today.
The landlord has applied for compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following 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 leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit.
The premises were not left reasonably clean and tidy, and rubbish had to be removed. For example, there were large metal frames and vehicle tyres outside. Inside, the ceilings, walls and surfaces throughout needed cleaning. The claims for rubbish removal ($300.00 plus GST) carpet cleaning ($322.00 plus GST) and cleaning ($1,345.50) are reasonable.
The tenant had a dog and the premises had to be treated for fleas. I award this cost ($161.00 plus GST).
The gardens were overgrown and had to be trimmed ($400.00).

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission.
There was only minor damage to the premises. Two shower drains had been chewed by a dog and a door handle had to be replaced. The cost of these items was $120.00 plus GST and $20.00 plus GST respectively. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. Filing fee and name suppression
The landlord has succeeded and is awarded the filing fee.
The landlord is granted suppression as requested.
