Bruce Palu must pay [The landlord/s] $232.47 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing today by telephone.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Rent, Water, Missing Chattels
The tenancy ended on 4 June 2024. The landlord accepted the tenant’s written 28 days’ notice to end the fixed term tenancy (which was to expire on 6 June 2024). The landlord provided rent records and water invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
At the end of the tenancy, the tenant must leave all chattels provided by the landlord for their use. The heat pump remote was missing at the end of the tenancy and had to be replaced. Damage
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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or 4 weeks' rent. The rent was $420.00 per week and the insurance excess was $750.00.
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for.
