Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
Bronwyn Hinemapuhia Ransom must pay [The landlord/s] $2,314.75 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,640.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$2,314.29 Carpet Cleaning$333.96 Carpet Cleaning: flea treatment$310.50 Rubbish removal$314.00 Lawns and Garden work$240.00 Cleaning$415.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$3,954.75 Bond$1,640.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$2,314.75

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenancy was a fixed term tenancy. The tenant moved out in December 2024 and the landlord agreed to find a new tenant for a tenancy to start before the expiry of the fixed term. The tenant remained liable for rent until the new tenancy started. The tenancy ended on 8 January 2025 and the landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
Because the fixed term tenancy had only two weeks to run, it is not appropriate to award the landlord the claimed fees for arranging a new tenancy as these would be fees incurred at the end of the fixed term tenancy, whether or not it was ended prematurely.
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided photographic evidence that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord provided evidence that the carpets were infested with fleas and it is appropriate that the landlord be reimbursed for the cost of eradicating the fleas.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
