Cleanliness Filing Fee Lawns And Garden Work Property damage Rent arrears

Order

Serenity Kia Ngawari Tuira and William Peter Maeva must pay Accommodation Centre Limited and Homroy Enterprise Limited $5,920.71 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Mr Siebert attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenants did not attend.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on expiry of the fixed term on 16 February 2025. The landlord provided rent records which, together with Mr Siebert’s oral evidence, proves the amount owing.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean (including the carpets and oven), and did not leave the lawns and gardens reasonably tidy as required by section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The amounts ordered are proved by the production of invoices.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

To be successful in a claim for damage to the premises, the landlord must prove that damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they, or others at the remises with their permission, did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B of the Act.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy: the floor was damaged by groves being scoured into the wooden planks; there was a hole in the master bedroom wall; and the washing line bracket was broken. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for it.
The amounts ordered are proved by the production of invoices.
The landlord has been successful in its claims and is therefore entitled to payment of the Tribunal application fee.
