Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Property damage Rubbish Removal

Order

Jenna Hamm must pay [The landlord/s] $3,573.07 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $256.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

A representative of the landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for compensation, refund of the bond, 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?

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean, did not remove all rubbish, and did not return the keys as required by section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

The landlord claims the cost to remedy the following damage: • Two broken windowpanes in the front door and broken kitchen window; • Damaged lounge curtains; • Damaged architrave around front door; • Rangehood pulled off wall; • Door stops missing/removed; • Kitchen window stay broken; • Holes and drawings on living room, bedroom, hall, cupboard, and alcove; and • Padlock installed on storage room (required removal).
I am satisfied that the landlord has established that the damage occurred during the tenancy, is beyond fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage: See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B of the Act.
The amounts claimed have been established by the production of invoices.
The landlord has been successful in its claims and is therefore entitled to payment of the Tribunal application fee.

Should a suppression order be made?

The landlord applied, in its application, for a suppression order.
Section 95A of the Act provides that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party who has been wholly or substantially successful in the proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published (unless the limited circumstances set out in the section apply).
The landlord has been wholly successful in its claims and the limited exceptions set out in s 95A do not apply. I therefore make an order that the landlord’s name and identifying details be suppressed.
