Order

Michael William Vinsen must pay [The landlord/s] $2,717.17 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. There was no appearance for the tenant.
The tenancy ended on 6 February 2024. On 17 April 2024 the landlord filed the application for cleaning and lawns compensation. On the same day an earlier application for rent arrears was heard and an order issued as noted above.
The landlord had tried to include these matters with the earlier application but had been unable to upload the documents, hence the second application.
The second application is now more than 2 months since the end of the tenancy and so service of the proceedings at the address of the tenancy is no longer valid service (see section 91A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The tenancy agreement has been lost and so there is no evidence that the email address was provided as an “address for service”.
The landlord has attempted to engage with the tenant by sending all invoices to the email address he provided at the start of the tenancy in August 2023. She has also been in communication with his caseworker. The tenant is keeping a low profile because of safety concerns.
Although the tenant has not been served by any of the means specified in section 91A, I am satisfied that he is aware of the claims.
In addition, the tenant has been sent notifications of today’s hearing via SMS messages at the phone number he provided to the landlord.
I have decided to dispense with service under section 91B(2)(c).

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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean. There had been no mopping or wiping of surfaces. The lawns required mowing.
The landlord provided photographs and invoices for cleaning and lawns.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
