Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
Naomi Nerisa Finau must pay [the landlord] $1,867.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by telephone. Only the landlord attended. Calls to the tenant went to voicemail.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. This order follows the Tribunal’s order made on 12 March for termination, rent arrears and bond. The bond exactly covered the rent arrears. The landlord makes no further claim for rent arrears although it was entitled to do so.
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage 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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent).
Walls and skirting in the toilet room and a wall in the stairwell were damaged during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. The landlord’s insurance is not relevant in this case.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and an invoice.
The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee.
