Reasons

The hearing was conducted remotely on Microsoft Teams.
Sunbera Mohsin attended for the landlord. The tenant did not attend or answer their telephone when the Tribunal phoned them. The hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, payment over of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 10 October 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the arrears.

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. 1
The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
I have reviewed the entry and inspection photographs and heard from Ms Mohsin on the condition of the premises at the end of the tenancy.
I am satisfied that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all their rubbish. The landlord had to replace some light bulbs.
The amount ordered is proved. The amount sought was $1,400 plus GST. That is reduced to $1,000.00 plus GST because the level of uncleanliness was not great and there was not much rubbish needing removing.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

The landlord claims for some minor damage. A lounge wall had a got a hole from a doorknob, several doorstoppers had to be replaced, two windows were broken, and a door lock needed repairing. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA), s 40(1)(e).
The landlord proved the damage claimed by photographs taken before and at the end of the tenancy.
The damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear.
The tenant has not proved they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage.
The landlord’s insurance cover carried an excess of $650.00 per claim, so it was not economic for the landlord to claim insurance for any of the damage.
The landlord’s contractor’s invoice included the cost of $580.00 plus GST for work to two toilets. I am not satisfied that the issues requiring work were not due to wear and tear. That amount is not allowed.
The amount ordered is proved. Filing fee
The tenant must reimburse the landlord for the filing fee. 2 Bond
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond to the landlord in part-payment of the tenant’s debt. Non-publication
Ms Mohsin seeks non-publication of the owners’ names and identifying details.
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. 3
The landlord has substantially succeeded in the proceedings. Publication is not in the public interest or justified for any other reason. 2 RTA, s 102(4)(b). 3 RTA, s 95A(1)
The request for non-publication is granted.
