The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,520.00 (5835225-001) to Quality Rental Management Limited as agent for P.Design Ltd immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the 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.

How much is owed for rent ?

The tenancy ended on 25 April 2025. This was a fixed term tenancy to 20 January 2026 . A new tenancy began on 30 May 2025 .Rent was claimed to 29 May 2025 and was not disputed by the tenants. The landlord also provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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 tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish or attend to gardens.
The tenant agreed with the landlords claim for cleaning, carpet cleaning, rubbish removal, and removal of unwanted items, less the cost to remove a drum which they said was there at the start of the tenancy.
The amount claimed for a final mow of the lawns was withdrawn by the landlord at the hearing.
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
The tenants were given the opportunity to provide evidence and speak to the landlords’ claims.
The tenants agreed with the claims made by the landlord for damages, taking responsibility for them.
The list of claims and amount of compensation sought by the landlord was read to the tenants. They agreed with the amounts for repairs and only disputed the damage to the shower door. The cost of replacement has been removed from the damages award.
Because Quality Rental Management Limited as agent for P.Design Ltd has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
