The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,600.00 () to Watson Real Estate Limited As Agent For Tai Paul Rental Properties Limited immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant did not answer any of the calls made at the scheduled time on the two numbers provided to the Tribunal.
The tenant has been served by email which is an address for service on his tenancy agreement.
Because I am satisfied the tenant has been served notice of the hearing in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986 and the tenant has not requested an adjournment, the hearing was conducted in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, reimbursement of the filing fee and refund of the bond.

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord stated that following a change in circumstances for the tenant, the tenancy was terminated by agreement effective 20 July 2025. As of this date the rent arrears amounted to $3,428.57.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing.

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 and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
At the end of the tenancy, the tenant left personal belongings of no value and rubbish at the premises. The landlord has had to dispose of this.
The landlord gave oral evidence regarding the cost of disposal. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of this information.
This claim and amount 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 landlord said that during the tenancy a ranchslider window was broken. She has obtained a quotation of $818.23 to repair the glass. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the landlord’s claim.
The damage to the ranchslider window is more than fair wear and tear and the tenant has not disproved carelessness or intention in causing the damage.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Watson Real Estate Limited As Agent For Tai Paul Rental Properties Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
