Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities the sum of $2,907.97 immediately, as detailed below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing and applied for recovery of rent arrears and compensation for the cost of rubbish removal following the end of the tenancy.
The tenant did not attend the hearing and could not be contacted via the most recent phone number provided to the landlord. As such, her position on the claims is unknown.

Should the Tribunal proceed without the tenant?

The tenant’s email address, as recorded in the tenancy agreement, matched the one used by the landlord in its application. The Tribunal Registry served the hearing notice and sent email and text reminders to that address and associated number. No contact was received from the tenant before or during the hearing, nor at the time of this Order, to request an adjournment or alternative hearing arrangements.
The same email address also appears in correspondence filed by the landlord supporting its application. The Tribunal is satisfied that the tenant was properly served and, as indicated in the hearing notice and pursuant to section 91 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, has proceeded in her absence.
Unfortunately, the tenant's non-attendance meant she missed the opportunity to request a payment arrangement. As a result, the amount is now immediately due and enforceable.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 11 February 2025. The landlord provided rent records confirming arrears of $296.43 at the end of the tenancy. This amount is therefore ordered.

Did the tenant comply with her obligations at the end of the tenancy?

Under sections 40(1)(e)(ii) and (iii) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, the tenant is required at the end of the tenancy to: a. Leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy; b. Remove all personal belongings; and c. Remove all rubbish.
The landlord submitted pre- and post-tenancy inspection reports, along with invoices, showing the tenant failed to meet these obligations. The house and shed contained substantial amounts of belongings and waste, and based on photographs, the premises appeared occupied because of the amount of the number and nature of items left behind.
On the final day of the tenancy (11 February 2025), the tenant emailed the following at 10:01 AM: I [The tenant/s] tenant/s] Puhipuhi Give full consent for KaingaOra to dispose of any furniture and items left at 1b Jameson Road Kaitaia ThankYou K.Albert
The Tribunal accepts this as consent for the landlord to dispose of the remaining items and is satisfied the landlord's consequent claims have therefore been substantiated. Conclusion
The tenant must pay the total amount of $2,907.97 to the landlord without delay.
