The tenant is to pay the landlord $248.43 immediately as detailed in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$111.43 Cleaning, gardening, rubbish removal and light bulb replacement $110.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$248.43 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$248.43

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone.
The tenant was telephoned twice but did not answer.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Service
The landlord made application to the Tribunal on 17 March 2025 which was more than two months after the end of the tenancy. This means that the application and other documents required to be served on the tenant must be posted to an address that the tenant has given to the landlord in writing within the last two months, or served in person on the tenant, or delivered to the tenant's place of residence, or given to an authorised agent of the tenant. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).
The landlord provided an address which has been given to them in writing within the last two months. In addition, this application was emailed to the tenant at the same email address that was used as an address for service in the original application. Notifications were also texted to the tenant at the same phone number. No emails have been returned because the email address is inactive.
I am satisfied that in these circumstances all reasonable efforts have been made to serve the application and corresponding documentation on the tenant. I am satisfied that posting to an address given by the tenant to the landlord, emailing and texting to a longstanding email address and phone number are steps that have brought, or are likely to have brought, notice of the application to the tenant’s attention.
In accordance with section 91B(2) RTA, I direct that the requirement for service is dispensed with and that the landlord’s application is to proceed as if it had been served on the tenant.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 10 October 2024, The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing 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. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The landlord gave evidence that tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all green rubbish. Specifically, the landlord advised that the floors in the laundry and the kitchen required cleaning, the oven required cleaning, some gardening was required together with the removal of green waste.
The landlord have evidence that it had to replace light bulbs and some light shades.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Property Brokers Limited Janine Ridings has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
