Order

Antina Macdonald must pay Brent Lamb $3,306.78 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend.
The tenancy ended on 11 April 2024. The bond and rent arrears were dealt with under that an earlier mediated order which is already being enforced.
The landlord has now applied for compensation 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?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish and return all keys and security devices under section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord provided photographs and oral evidence to confirm that the tenant did not clean the property at all at the end of the tenancy.
The quoted cost for cleaning the property included an amount for the outside windows which is not generally the tenant’s responsibility. An amount of $200.00 was deducted from the quotation to allow for this leaving a total for cleaning of $1,400.00 (including carpet and oven cleaning).
The landlord provided photographs and oral evidence to confirm that the tenant left considerable rubbish and discarded and broken items of furniture at the premises. The quotation for rubbish collection and removal is $1,000.00.
The tenant did not return any keys.
The landlord provided a quotation to support the amount claimed for lock and key replacement being $886.34.
The landlord has not yet completed the work as he was hesitant about incurring the cost before this order was made. Nevertheless, the evidence confirms that the amounts ordered are reasonable in the circumstances.
The amounts ordered are proved.
As Brent Lamb has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
