Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,117.84 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $210.00 (6150099-005) to Kāinga Ora– Homes And Communities immediately. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$167.14 Rubbish removal$984.72 Tenancy debt at vacate.$1,175.98 Total award$2,327.84 Bond$210.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$2,117.84

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference.
The matter was adjourned on 23 October 2025 as Mr Leiataua, when called at that date, had not been served the application and evidence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and compensation following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 13 March 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is as ordered. Prior debt
At vacate, the tenant had a balance owing of $1,175.98 for costs incurred by the landlord and recharged during the tenancy. This has been reducing over time through tenant payments. The balance remaining was not disputed by him. This is awarded.

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 remove all rubbish. The landlord provided photos and invoices in support of the claim of $984.72 for the cost of the subsequential removal.
This cost was disputed by the tenant. He had arranged a skip bin prior to the exit. Unfortunately, when delivered to the address it remained overnight and was apparently filled during this period by opportunistic neighbours. I was told this has happened previously. It is unfortunate therefore that a repeat occurrence here was not anticipated, with some preventative measures put in place.
Limited funds meant another skip could not be arranged directly by the tenant.
The items for disposal were placed in piles by Mr Leiataua that indicated some intention to remove.
While I fully accept the frustration of the tenant in now having to pay for the uplift and disposal of 6m 3 of items and rubbish, I equally agree with the landlord that the cost they incurred was not one they should have had to. It was a real cost to the landlord and it is entitled to recover that cost.
The amount ordered is proved and awarded.
