Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Hanna Paul and Tajinder Singh Paul must pay [The landlord/s] $208.87 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,500.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 31 October 2024. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
There is a Mediator’s Order dated 11 October 2024 which awarded rent arrears to 8 October 2024. This order contains rent arrears from 9 October 2024 up until 31 October 2024 less three payments made by the tenant on 8 October 2024, 16 October 2024 and 20 March 2025. The balance owing for rent arrears is $1,074.45.
The last payment made on 20 March 2025 was not noticed during the hearing and only appears in one version of the rent summary submitted by the landlord. That amount was deducted accordingly.

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. The landlord claims for lawn mowing.
The tenant was evicted by the Bailiff and therefore I award replacement of the keys.
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

There was a broken window which the tenant acknowledged was caused by them. The amount for the repair is less than the insurance excess of $1,000.00 and therefore the landlord did not claim insurance.
The amount sought to repair the window is awarded against the tenant.
The landlord claimed eviction costs but that is a cost that should be sought during enforcement. That claim is dismissed.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed.
