The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $104.00 (6014880004) to Kāinga Ora– Homes and Communities immediately.

Reasons

Ms Rea attended the hearing by telephone for the landlord. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and payment of the bond following the end of the tenancy. Rent
The tenancy ended on 12 February 2024. The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount of rent owing as ordered. Cleaning, Rubbish Removal and Damage
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage 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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent).
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean.
There was a substantial amount of rubbish accumulated at the premises during the tenancy and the tenant agreed that the landlord should remove it at his expense. The landlord did so.
There was damage to walls, doors, a door frame and cupboards during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. From the nature and extent of the damage I am satisfied that it was caused intentionally.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and work orders.
