Order

Mufassir Hussein must pay Investment Portfolio Management Limited Partnership $1,148.51 immediately, calculated as shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$2,138.57 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Cleaning: shower/fridge/curtains$207.00 Cleaning: Stain removal couch/matress/carpet$172.50 break less fee-advertising$150.00 Total award$2,688.51 Minus Bond$1,540.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$1,148.51
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,540.00 (6061403-011) to Investment Portfolio Management Limited Partnership immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not appear. I rang the tenant on the mobile number provided in the application, but it went to answerphone. The tenant had contacted the landlord just prior to the hearing to say that he was not able to attend due to work commitments.
I am satisfied that the tenant was aware of the hearing and so I am proceeding in his absence.
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?

This was a fixed term tenancy that was due to end on 16 April 2024. The tenant advised the landlord that he had taken another work opportunity that required him to end the tenancy earlier. The tenant left the property on 31 March 2024, and he accepts that he must pay rent until the end of the tenancy.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of $2138.57 owing at the end of the tenancy.
The rent arrears sought, are proven.
The landlord sought costs associated with an early break lease fee. After discussions, the landlord sought only the advertising costs for the early release of the tenancy.
The landlord provided an invoice for $150.00 for the advertising costs.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for the advertising costs.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The shower, fridge and curtains were not cleaned. There were stains on the mattress, couch, and carpet at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord provided photographs from the exit inspection report and invoices for cleaning and stain removal costs for the couch, carpet and mattress.
I am satisfied that the amounts ordered are proved by the landlord.
The bond is to be refunded to the landlord immediately to offset the debt owed to the landlord from the tenant.
Because Investment Portfolio Management Limited Partnership has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
