Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend. A call to the tenant during the hearing went directly to his voicemail.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy so the usual service rules no longer apply. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The application was served on the tenant at the email address for service provided in the tenancy agreement. There is also a record on the tribunal file recording the tenant’s advice to use that email address. I direct that service has been achieved by a mean likely to bring the application and hearing time to the tenant’s notice. See section 91B Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
I have heard the landlord’s claims.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended, by Order of the Tribunal, on 26 January 2024. However, the landlord did not gain possession until 9 February 2024.
The landlord is entitled to the 2 weeks rent ($1,040) from termination until it obtained possession and reimbursement of the bailiff fee ($200) incurred to enforce the termination and possession order.

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 return the keys. The landlord provided an invoice for key/lock replacement.
The amounts ordered are proved.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have also awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
