Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Taylor Cartwright-Kare must pay [The landlord/s] $3,400.44 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,640.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing represented by Mr Chen. There was no appearance for the tenant and when he was called, his phone was switched off. He had been notified of the hearing by letter and text, accordingly pursuant to section 92 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) the hearing continued 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.
The tenancy ended on 6 May 2024 by tenant notice. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Accordingly, the order for rent arrears is made as sought.
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) RTA. The tenant's statutory obligation is to leave the premises reasonably clean and reasonably tidy. This is not an absolute standard, and it does not mean that the premises will necessarily be ready for occupation by a new tenant straight away. It is to be expected that a landlord will spend some time (or pay someone else) on cleaning and maintenance work between tenancies. This is part of the business of being a landlord.
The landlord established in evidence that tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. I therefore order an amount for cleaning, however not the full amount sought. This is because the photos do not establish the amount claimed as reasonable. There is some cleaning to do, however not $199 worth. Further the landlord did not undertake any other clean before the next tenancy. Therefore, this clean took the property to a higher standard than that required of a tenant by the RTA.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee and approve their claim for suppression.
