The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,880.00 (BN-00024496) to Viaduct City Rentals Limited as Agent for Joy Redhead immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend. The tenant was served with the notice of hearing and so I am proceeding with the hearing in his absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy on 18 June 2025.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 18 th June 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The rent arrears owing as of 18 June 2025 was $978.51 and water bills were $125.40. These rent arrears and water bills are in addition to the previous rent arrears and water bills ordered in application number 5189331, on 12 June 2025.
I am incorporating the previous order for water bills and rent arrears in this order.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claims for water bills and rent arrears as at the end of the tenancy on 18 June 2025.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1) (ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not return the keys.
The landlord has provided the Tribunal with a copy of the pre-entry inspection report and photographs and the exit inspection and photographs. Also, the landlord has provided copies of invoices for the cost of the work that was needed to be carried out at the end of the tenancy.
The tenant did not return the apartment key nor the mailbox keys nor the swipe card to access the building. The invoices confirm the landlord has incurred the cost of replacing these items.
The tenant had been smoking in the apartment in breach of the tenancy agreement and the Body Corporation rules. The landlord had to steam clean the carpets due to the strong smell of cigarette smoke in the carpets and furnishings. The apartment looked overall reasonably clean, but the walls, cupboards and furniture were dusty and had grubby marks that required cleaning. The landlord provided invoices for the cost of the carpet cleaning and general cleaning of the apartment.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven the claims for these costs and that the costs are fair and reasonable. Previous Order:
In addition to a previous order dated 12 June 2025 for rent arrears and water bills, that I have incorporated into this order, the landlord has another order that is to be added to this order. On 9 June 2025 Adjudicator Stirling ordered the tenant pay $795.75 for the Body Corporation charges to reinstate the smoke alarm on two occasions during the tenancy and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The tenant has not paid either of the two previous order dated 9 June 2025 and 12 June 2025, under application number 5189331. Both orders are incorporated into this order. Bond / Filing Fee:
Because Viaduct City Rentals Limited as Agent for Joy Redhead has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The Bond Centre is to refund the bond to the landlord immediately to offset the debt owed by the tenant to the landlord.
