Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
Michelle Chase must pay [The landlord/s] $1,054.25 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. A call was made to the tenant’s phone. It was answered by the tenant’s sister who said the tenant was at gym. As a txt reminder was sent to that number, which is the tenant’s current number, I can only assume the tenant chose not to take part in the hearing, notice of which was properly given.
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?

On 21 October 2024 the tenant gave the landlord notice of her intention to end the tenancy. Although 4 weeks’ notice was required, the landlord seeks arrears only to 11 November 2024. The landlord has produced rent records showing the amount owed to 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.
Exit inspection photographs and the property manager’s evidence establish that when the tenant vacated, a significant quantity of rubbish was left at the premises which the landlord needed to have removed. The carpets were left dirty and needed commercial cleaning.
The landlord is entitled to be compensation for the cost of that work.
The evidence also shows that there was damage to a door and walls that needed repair. I am satisfied that the damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear, so the landlord should be compensated for the repair cost.
The compensation claimed is reasonable and is proved by invoices provided by the landlord.
Because [The applicant/s] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
