Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee

Order

Roseanna Katrina Peters must pay Holmwood Real Estate Limited as agent for WHC Enterprises Trust (Jack and George Clifford) $2,042.99 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

Ms Scott represented the landlord. The tenant did not attend the hearing.
The landlord has 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, 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 (RTA) .
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. Goods left behind had to be dumped.

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.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy. The carpet in the lounge/living room was so badly stained it had to be replaced. Cleaning would not remove the stain.
The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The amounts ordered are proved by invoices and photos and by the evidence Ms Scott gave at the hearing.
I have not applied any depreciation to the claim for carpet replacement as the carpet was new at the start of the tenancy which lasted less than 7 months.
As the application is successful, the tenant must pay the landlord’s Tribunal filing fee.
