Filing Fee Rent arrears Property damage Water Rates

Order

Jacqui Mandy Biddle and Patrick Tamiano Hohua must pay Inspire Property Management Limited As Agent For Jamaine Fraser $206.84 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,860.00 (3877008-001) to Inspire Property Management Limited As Agent For Jamaine Fraser immediately.

Reasons

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

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 24 April 2024. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoice which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent). See section 49B(3)(a) RTA.
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent). See section 49B(3)(b) RTA. Where insurance money is irrecoverable because of the tenant's conduct, the property is treated as if it is not insured against the damage. See section 49B(3A)(a) RTA.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy: the oven door was broken. The landlord was unable to source a replacement door, so the oven had to be replaced. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. I award the insurance excess of $650.00.
The amount ordered is proved.
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
