Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Prabhjil Kaur $785.67 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing on 31 October 2025.
The tenants did not attend the hearing by Teams video link. A telephone call to the tenant [The tenant/s] tenant/s] on the number provided at the allocated hearing time went to voicemail. A call to [The tenant/s] tenant/s] was not responded to. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am satisfied that notice of the hearing was given to the tenants.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for water rates?

The tenancy ended on 20 May 2025. The landlord provided water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy was $50.67.

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. 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.
The landlord provided photos of the premises at the end of the tenancy which showed that the carpets were stained. The landlord provided an invoice for carpet cleaning of $334.50. The claim is proven and is reasonable.
The landlord claimed $496.51 for cleaning. The photos provided in evidence showed that some rubbish removal and cleaning would have been required to bring the premises to a reasonably clean and tidy standard. The amount of work that would have been required to achieve that standard would not have been substantial. I order the tenant to pay $200.00 for cleaning.
Pest control was required for the kitchen in hot water cupboard. The landlord provided an invoice for $172.50. The amount is proven and is reasonable.
As Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Prabhjil Kaur has substantially succeeded with the claim I have ordered the tenants to reimburse the filing fee.
