Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord name and identifying details.
Bernard Taruvinga and Masy Taruvinga must pay [The landlord/s] $550.96 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing. The tenants did not join the video meeting and could not be contacted by telephone.
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?

The tenancy ended on 6/12/2024. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The carpets required professional steam cleaning.
The amount ordered is reduced a small amount to reflect both that the tenancy ran for two years and that a tenant need not leave a property in a spotless condition or even a condition where it can be immediately relet. The cleaning standard required is “reasonably clean and tidy” and it is considered the amount ordered properly takes account of this. The photographs provided show the extensive cleaning required.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee and approved the request for name suppression.
