Order

Katrina Thompson must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,767.73 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
The landlord has applied for compensation for rubbish removal and lawn/garden maintenance following the end of the tenancy.
The landlord withdrew their claim for rent arrears and compensation for damage at the hearing. The landlord has already secured an order from the Tribunal for rent arrears. This tenancy was 8 years long. The landlord accepts that most of the damage was actually fair wear and tear.
As the applicant, the landlord must prove their claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The landlord claims the tenant did not remove all rubbish or leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
The landlord provided photographs of the property taken at the end of the tenancy, which show a significant amount of rubbish, personal belongings and miscellaneous household items were left at the property by the tenant. The landlord only seeks compensation amounting to half the actual cost for rubbish removal. The landlord advised this was because the tenant’s family helped to remove some of the larger items of furniture and household appliances.
The landlord’s claim for compensation for rubbish removal is granted for a total of $1,540.73.
The photographs of the property taken at the end of the tenancy also show the lawns and garden are significantly overgrown. Clause 16 of the tenancy agreement requires the tenant to leave the grounds and garden clean and tidy at the end of the tenancy. The tenant did not do this. The landlord only seeks compensation amounting to half the cost to mow the lawns and weed the garden.
The landlord’s claim for compensation for lawn and garden maintenance is granted for a total of $200.00.
The amounts ordered are proved. Filing fee
Because Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
