Order

Jamie Walters must pay [The landlord/s] $1,261.99, calculated as shown in the table below.
The tenant must pay the debt at the rate of $50.00 per week starting on Thursday 18 July 2024 and payments must continue every Thursday until the debt is paid in full.
If the tenant fails to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing (the tenant by telephone).
This was a 6-year tenancy. The landlord seeks compensation for costs incurred after the tenancy ended.
The tenant agrees that additional cleaning was needed of a few areas. I award the claim of $245.00.
Two large skip bags of rubbish and unwanted belongings were left behind and one bag of lawn clippings. Ms Walters said that the collection service she had organised did not take these on the date they had promised. The landlord had to arrange disposal.
I accept the tenant’s oral evidence that the wooden pallets were at the property when she moved in and reduce the invoiced amount by $100.00. I award $753.30.
A tenant is liable for any careless or intentional damage that is more than wear and tear and happens during the tenancy.
If a tenant repairs damage but the work is not done to a reasonable standard, the landlord can claim compensation to have the repair done again. A repair to the wall near the laundry had to be done again and the wall repainted to match.
Missing lightbulbs were also replaced.
The tenant disagrees that she should pay for a repair to the bottom corner of the wall in one bedroom as says this is wear and tear. I agree that if the wallpaper came off due to age, leaving the plaster exposed, that this is more likely to get damaged by normal use. I discount the repair invoice by $50.00 and award $243.25.
The landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim, so I reimburse the filing fee and suppress its name, as sought.
The total amount the tenant must pay is $1,261.99. The parties have agreed on a repayment arrangement of $50.00 per week.
