Order

Hayden Karmel Conway Herbert must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $6,882.38 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant was unable to be contacted on the number specified in the notice of hearing, which was properly served.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and compensation following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended after the tenant gave notice to terminate the tenancy, although he remains a client of the landlord.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The tenant has continued to make regular payments toward the debt and the arrears figure takes into account the most recent payment made, on 14 May 2025.

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 provided by the landlord show that the tenant did not remove all rubbish. Although significantly more costs were incurred by the landlord in removing that rubbish, only the cost of a standard skip bin hire is claimed. The landlord is entitled to be compensated for that cost.
The landlord is entitled to be reimburse the costs of having locks changed at the tenant’s request

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
Entry and inspection photographs provided by the landlord show that walls were damaged during the tenancy. I find it proved that the damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear.
The landlord is entitled to be compensated for the repair costs which are reasonable and are proved by the landlord’s work order records.
