Order

Bashir Nuur Abas must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $731.48 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend. I confirmed that the tenant had been served with the notice of hearing and so have continued with the hearing in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for compensation for vacated costs and a refund of the rent credit.
At the end of the tenancy on 15 July 2024 the tenant was in rent credit of $479.43. The landlord sent the tenant the final statement of costs associated with the vacating of the property which was $1450.91.
Since the end of the tenancy the tenant has continued to make payments of $20.00 per fortnight to the landlord. The landlord assumes these payments are to go towards the vacated costs invoices.
As of 31 December 2024, the tenant had $719.43 in rent credit, being the original rent credit and the additional payments of $20.00 per fortnight.

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 tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord provided the Tribunal with a pre-let inspection report and photographs and an exit inspection report and photos. The landlord provided invoices for the cost of the work needed to be done to the property after the termination of the tenancy.
The report and photos show the house was not left reasonably clean and tidy. There was rubbish and discarded possessions left inside and outside the property the required removal. The lawns were very overgrown and the garden unkempt.
I find the invoices provided by the landlord prove their claim for compensation. The following invoices were provided to the Tribunal: -Lawns and garden work - $300.00 -Rubbish removal - $378.43. -Cleaning of whole the house, including the rangehood, stove and kitchen cupboards - $772.48. -TOTAL = $1450.91
The amounts ordered are proved. Rent credit:
The tenant has a rent credit of $719.43 which is to be refunded to the landlord to offset the debt owed by the tenant to the landlord.
After deducting the rent credit, the tenant owes the landlord the sum of $731.48. It would appear that the tenant is making fortnightly contributions towards the debt at the rate of $20.00 per fortnight. The landlord is agreeable to this payment arrangement remaining in place until the debt is repaid in full.
