Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $676.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows based on the table below: [The landlord/s]: $413.73 Enoka Dean: $262.27

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. The Tribunal called the phone number provided for the tenant but that call went to voicemail. I am satisfied that the tenant has been served with the landlord’s application in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and so the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
This was a boarding house tenancy. This tenancy ended by order of the Tribunal in [2024] NZTT 4837005 on 12 June 2025. The landlord was granted immediate possession.
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 landlord provided rent records which show that the tenant was in arrears in the amount of $366.29 at the end of the tenancy. This claim is proved.

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 landlord said that the tenant had to leave immediately and although their family came to pick up some belongings the landlord was left to clean out the room. The landlord produced an invoice in the amount of $138.00 for cleaning.
The onus is on the landlord to prove their claim. As there were no photos or other evidence proving that the landlord did not leave the property reasonably clean and tidy I am not satisfied that this claim has been proved.
The landlord’s claim for cleaning is dismissed. Previous claim
The amount of $20.44 ordered in [2024] NZTT 4837005 on 12 June 2025 is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes. Filing fee and name suppression
Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
The landlord sought and order for name suppression and is entitled to an order for name suppression as the substantially successful party.
