Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord name and identifying details.
Hector Kelly must pay [The landlord/s] $754.00 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by remote teleconference. The tenant was unable to attend the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 19 September 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted this evidence I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for this debt.
The claim 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 landlord claims that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The only evidence provided in support of this claim is an invoice from Abode Cleaning Services dated 20 September 2024. The landlord has not provided any photographic evidence taken at the start and end of the tenancy. In the absence of this evidence it is impossible to ascertain the condition of the property in respect of this claim.
Accordingly, the claim for cleaning reimbursement must be dismissed.
Because [The landlord] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. I have also reimbursed the landlord the filing fee for the earlier order. See NZTT 5001073.
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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case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.
