Rubbish Removal

Order

Shayne Rama-Manga must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $5,033.36 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. The landlord was represented by Ms Perese.
I delayed the start of the hearing by 20 minutes in case the tenant was running late but there was no appearance by the tenant. I am satisfied that the tenant has been served with this application and in fact the tenant appeared at an earlier teleconference in this matter. There is no record of the tenant seeking an adjournment of the hearing today and so the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for compensation for rubbish removal following the end of the tenancy.
This tenancy began on 22 January 2024 and ended on 13 September 2024.

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 landlord said that the tenant left huge amounts of rubbish behind, both inside and outside the house. The landlord seeks the sum of $4,541.00 for rubbish removal (interior) and $492.36 for rubbish removal (exterior). The landlord produced internal documentation confirming the amounts claimed, which are calculated on a cubic metre basis.
The landlord produced photos from the start of the tenancy as part of an inspection report dated 21 January 2024. These photos show the property to be free from rubbish. These photos include the under the house and storage areas. The report has been signed by the tenant.
The landlord said that although this was a relatively short tenancy over 25 cubic metres were removed from the property at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord produced photos from the end of the tenancy showing: a. Interior: Various rubbish strewn throughout the house including a couch, full black rubbish bags, a washing basket and bucket, couch cushions, a broken plastic container, various bathroom and laundry items, pet bowls and a blanket, and a variety of miscellaneous items; b. Interior (under the house): Various rubbish including battery, a ladder, some boxes, a car jack, a large pot and a variety of miscellaneous items; c. Interior (storage area under house): Very large amounts or rubbish including multiple chests of drawers, appliances (including a fridge), tarpaulins, pallets, multiple bed bases and mattresses, a kick-bag, a bike, paint tins, clothing and a variety of miscellaneous items. d. Exterior: Two large piles left outside the property including the top of a pool table, whiteware, a large chest of drawers, a plastic barrel and a considerable number of miscellaneous items.
This is a large claim for rubbish removal. Having reviewed the photos which show a huge amount of rubbish left behind both inside and out, and having heard from Ms Perese, I am satisfied that the amount sought is reasonable.
The amounts ordered are proved.
