- Rent arrears
- Cleanliness
Order
- [The tenant/s] must pay 100 Percent Rentals Limited $4,162.58 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,400.00 (5428831-010) to 100 Percent Rentals Limited immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the teleconference hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
- The tenancy ended on 11 March 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- The tenant did not dispute the rent arrears amount.
- I order the tenant to pay the landlord $3,628.57 for rent arrears.
- At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
- The landlord proved the claims with photos of the premises at the end of the tenancy and invoices for the cleaning and rubbish removal.
- I order the tenant to pay the landlord $1,704.30 for exit cleaning and $202.71 for rubbish removal.
- Because 100 Percent Rentals Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the landlord’s filing fee.
- I order the bond to be refunded to the landlord to offset the amount payable by the tenant. .
