Carpet Cleaning Property damage Filing Fee

Order

Jessica McIntosh must pay [The landlord/s] $279.78 immediately, calculated as shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Carpet Cleaning: - stain removal$75.00 Lock/key replacement: 3 keys$21.00 Repairs: to walls$50.00 Electrical fittings repair: - power point$113.34 Filing fee$20.44 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$279.78

Reasons

The landlord has applied for compensation 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. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Carpet stains
The evidence shows that there were some stains on the carpet at the end of the tenancy. The landlord received a quote for the removal of the stains but as of today has not had that work carried out at the owner’s request. The Tribunal orders actual losses. The owner has not had a financial loss currently. There is no guarantee that the landlord will have the stains removed. The only loss relates to how the carpet looks. It is an aesthetic loss. I have made an order for $75.00 simply based on the aesthetics of the stained carpet. Keys
The keys were not returned. The landlord has proved the amount for new keys. Power point damage
The electrical power point was damaged during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear. The repair has been carried out at a cost of $113.34.
Wall damage from hooks.
There is minor damage to a wall that had been damaged by a previous tenant removing a coat rack. The landlord has not had the wall repaired. The owner has not had a financial loss currently. There is no guarantee that the landlord will have the wall repaired and what it will cost. The only loss relates to how the wall looks. Like the carpet, the loss relates to how the wall looks. I have made an order for $50.00 simply based on the aesthetics of the wall. It is probably what it would cost to have the holes patched and sealed and patch painted. Name Suppression
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the landlord’s request for name suppression is granted. (see Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986). Filing Fee
Because the landlord has been wholly successful with the claim, the filing fee of $20.44 is ordered.
