Order

[The tenant/s] to pay [The landlord/s] $1,200.00 from the bond, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,400.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows: [The landlord/s]: $1,200.00 [The tenant/s]: $200.00

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference. The call to the tenant went unanswered. The other tenant sadly passed away near the end of the tenancy.
The landlord explained the circumstances at the end of the tenancy, and why it has taken so long to advance this to the Tribunal. Her attempts to contact the remaining tenant and settle the bond amount were unsuccessful.
I was satisfied in this instance to dispense with the requirement for service and proceed as if the notice or other document had been served on the party in accordance with this Act (see s 91B(2)(c) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The landlord has applied for compensation from the bond following the end of the tenancy.

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 did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. A pest control exercise was required.
The landlord provided an invoice for the pest control, cleaning and rubbish removal. She discounted the total amount sought from that invoice by $200.00, reducing the claim to $1,200.00. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that 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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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.
Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
The landlord requested suppression at the hearing application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered. I am also mindful of the passing of one tenant near the end of the tenancy and the flow on impact that hindered the remaining tenant meeting her obligations with regard to the condition of the premises. The landlord was supportive of extended name suppression for the tenants. Having considered the circumstances and the submission of the landlord I consider it appropriate in this instance to order full suppression of names and identifying details. This suppression is ordered.
