The tenancy ended on 29 July 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted this rent ledger I am satisfied that the tenants are responsible for this debt.
The claim for rent arrears is proven.

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 tenants did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The landlord claims that the tenants abandoned the property leaving behind a significant amount of rubbish and personal belongings. The entire property had to be professionally cleaned at short notice.
The landlord provided photographic evidence in support of these two claims. I have also sighted a rubbish removal invoice and a cleaning invoice which was filed in support.
The tenants did not return the keys. The landlord provided a locksmith’s invoice in support of this claim which I have sighted.
The amounts ordered are proved.
The landlord has applied a credit of $130.10 being the auction proceeds of sale of the tenant’s fridge freezer, washing machine, plus various other items left behind.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.
The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
