Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenants did not attend.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy was a fixed term tenancy until 22 August 2025. The tenants remain liable for rent until the end of the fixed term or until a new tenancy started.

The tenants vacated the tenancy on 4 December 2024. A new tenancy started on 25 January 2025. The landlord seeks rent until 21 January only. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of rent owing at that date.

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 (RTA).

The wi-fi router was missing at the end of the tenancy.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

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. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.

The following damage was caused during the tenancy: sliding door locks were broken and had to be replaced and a cupboard in the bathroom had the sliding mechanism damaged. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenants have not disproved liability for the damage.

The amounts ordered are proved by invoices and by the evidence the landlord gave at the hearing.

As the application is successful, the tenants must pay the landlord’s Tribunal filing fee.
