Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.

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 26 January 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy after the bond was paid to the landlord.

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.

The tenant did not leave all of the premises reasonably clean and did not remove all rubbish. The carpet was seriously stained. Professional carpet cleaning could not remove all stains.

The tenant did not return the keys.

The following garage remotes and wall switch for the garage door were missing at the end of the tenancy. The garage door and remotes had to be reprogrammed by a professional.

The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is careless or intentional. The landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear.

A wall was damaged during the tenancy. It appears to have been punched. The landlord received a quote for $437.00 from a contractor to repair the hole. The landlord will fix the wall. I have allowed $150.00 compensation for the landlord to provide the materials and carry out the work to repair the hole and paint the wall. Filing Fee

Because the landlord has been successful with the claim the filing fee of $27.00 is ordered to be paid by the tenant. Suppression

The landlord has applied for name suppression. Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim and therefore name suppression is granted.
