Filing Fee Lawns And Garden Work Rent arrears Rubbish Removal Water Rates

Order

Hope Temanaki Tauia and Lotomama Faaumuumu must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited Acting Agent For John, Katherine & Bruce $1,449.25 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,800.00 (6159403-012) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited Acting Agent For John, Katherine & Bruce immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 19/2/2024 when the tenants breached a mediated order requiring that the rent and arrears were paid. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which 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 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 did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. As is often the case when a tenancy ends with short notice and threat of bailiffs the tenants did not have time to move their possessions clear the rubbish and clean properly.
The invoices for both cleaning and the lawns and garden work have been reduced. A tenant need only leave a property reasonably clean and tidy; the cleaning invoice suggests (it refers to cleaning all skirting boards and surfaces) that the cleaning was to a standard that the property could be immediately relet. The tenants do not need to clean to that standard. However, the photographs confirm that there was a lot of rubbish and chattels than needed to be moved before the cleaning could be done. A large skip bin was filled with rubbish and the surplus put on a trailer.
The photographs also confirm that the lawns and gardens were overgrown, however after a tenancy that runs for more than 2 years there is an element of maintenance work with the lawns and gardens too that is rightly attributed to the landlord as a reasonable between tenancy cost.
The amounts ordered are proved by the invoices and photographs provided.
The tenants are to pay the filing fee as the application is largely successful.
