Order

Scott Miles must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $15,497.09 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $344.00 to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant did not answer either of the calls made to him at the scheduled time on the number provided to the Tribunal.
The application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy so the usual service rules no longer apply.
The application must be served either personally on the tenant, on someone over the age of 16 living at address where the tenant now lives, or by post to an address provided by the tenant within two months before the application was made. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord stated that the tenant lives in a cabin on the same property as his mother at the service address provided for the tenant. The tenant’s mother’s property is managed by the same landlord. The tenant’s documents were served to this address. Additionally, on Monday 4 November 2024, the landlord visited this same address, spoke with the tenant’s mother and confirmed that the tenant lives at this address. Information regarding today’s hearing was given to the tenant’s mother.
Because I am satisfied the tenant has been served notice of the hearing in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986 and the tenant has not requested an adjournment, the hearing was conducted in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and refund of the bond, following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 8 January 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $14,798.00.

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, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
The landlord provided information that in June 2020 a skip bin was provided to the tenant at the tenant’s request. The charge for this is $350.00 – a standardised amount and less than the $555.00 cost to the landlord. The tenant is yet to make any payment towards this cost.
The amounts ordered are proved.
