Filing Fee Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] must pay South United Limited as Agent for Talwinder Singh Ramajeet Kaur $5,658.50 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,925.00 (6139281-002) to South United Limited as Agent for Talwinder Singh Ramajeet Kaur immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today.
The Tribunal has previously made orders in respect of this tenancy. The tenants were evicted on 27 March 2025 but returned to the premises on at least one occasion and had to be re-evicted on 30 May 2025.
The landlord has applied for compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee. Cleaning and Rubbish
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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The premises were left in an untidy condition, with lots of belongings left behind and a need for cleaning throughout.
The keys were not returned, and the locks had to be changed. Damage
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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent.
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for.
The carpet was damaged in several places. The damage is clearly intentional because squares had been cut out on the floor. The kitchen kickboard was broken. There were missing curtains and tracks. The gate and letterbox were broken, probably when the tenants returned to the premises on the first occasion. The deck handrail was missing several palings. There was damage to the walls in the house and sleepout, and the sleepout was full of belongings.
The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. Filing Fee
The filing fee is awarded.
