Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Fasiaisiugath Jason Maila must pay Rajalakshmi Ganesan $11,110.44 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,800.00 (3134038-006) to Rajalakshmi Ganesan immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, claims for cleaning and damage to the property, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 8 July 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy of $11,200.00 through to 8 July 2024. The tenant did not dispute the unpaid rental amount.

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 and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(iii) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord has claimed $280 to hire a skip bin to remove the rubbish left at the property and provided evidence of the amount paid.
The landlord has also claimed for cleaning required at the end of the tenancy, which they say required 3 people, 10 hours, at a rate of $37 an hour and totalling $1,110.00.
The tenant did not dispute these claims or amounts.
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy: broken window. The amount claimed is $300 and is proved by a receipt for repair. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant accepts the claim for the damage and the amount claimed for repair.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Rajalakshmi Ganesan has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. R Harvey-Lane 06 August 2024
