Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details. 2. 3.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today. There was no appearance from the tenants.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, outgoings, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
I note that there were four tenants. The landlord has only brought an application against two tenants. This was discussed with the landlord at the hearing. Because the other two tenants have not been served with the application, no order can be made against them. Rent and Water
The tenancy ended on 26 May 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Cleaning, Rubbish Removal, Locks, Pest Control
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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The bath and oven needed cleaning, along with other areas. There was a large pile of rubbish, including a large tyre.
The tenant did not return the garage remote.
There was a need for pest control at the premises. The landlord attributes this to the condition the premises were left in by the tenants. Repairs
The landlord claimed the cost of replacing the cover for a living room light ($48.46) and missing and damaged curtains ($400.54). There were no photographs, invoices, or quotes provided supporting these claims. I find that they have not been proved. Filing Fee and Name Suppression
The landlord has been largely successful and is awarded the filing fee.
Suppression is granted as requested. Corrigendum In error, the order was issued without inclusion of the award for rubbish removal. This amended order includes the cost of rubbish removal.
