Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay Otautahi Community Housing Trust $692.33 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $236.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Otautahi Community Housing Trust immediately.

Reasons

Only the landlord, represented by Mr Waters, attended the hearing, which was conducted via teleconference. Three attempts were made to contact the tenant, and on each occasion, the call went to voicemail. As the tenant has been notified, the hearing proceeded.
This tenancy began on 26 January 2022 and ended on 3 October 2024.
The landlord has applied for compensation, payment from the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The landlord notes there is a rent credit of $146.14, which has been recorded above.

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) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the RTA).
The landlord claims cleaning, oven/stove cleaning, and rubbish removal costs. The landlord has provided photographic evidence, invoices and oral evidence at the hearing. This evidence establishes that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. Large items, including furniture and a refrigerator were left behind, and the rubbish removal invoice shows a 3 cubic metre bin was required.
Further cleaning was also needed, including cleaning of the oven/stove. However, the landlord does not seek the full cleaning costs, recognising that some of these costs are payable by the landlord because they were for additional cleaning to bring the property up to standard for the next tenant.
The tenant did not return the keys. The landlord does not seek the full costs incurred for the locksmith’s charges, in view of the particular features of the locks installed.
The amounts ordered above are proved. Filing fee
Because the landlord is successful, the tenant is to pay the landlord’s filing fee. Name suppression
The landlord requests name suppression for the tenant. While noting that the tenant is the unsuccessful party, having had regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, and with the landlord’s consent, the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details. The landlord does not seek name suppression.
