Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] to pay Marnie Elsie McGuire Andrew Charles McGuire As Trustees Of The M&M Investment Trust $1,400.00 from the bond, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,400.00 (3168292-013) to Marnie Elsie Mcguire Andrew Charles Mcguire As Trustees Of The M&M Investment Trust immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone represented by Ms McGuire. The Tribunal called the tenant on the number provided for her in the application but the calls diverted to voicemail. I am satisfied that the tenant received notice of the hearing and did not attend.
The landlord has applied for compensation and refund of the bond following the end of the tenancy.

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 leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy by failing to remove a substantial amount of rubbish and belongings from the exterior of the premises including fridges, a washing machine, a sofa and outdoor furniture.
The cost to remove the rubbish including truck hire and tip fees was $1,597. However, the landlord only seeks refund of the bond from the tenant as a contribution towards the costs.
The Tribunal notes that the landlord also supplied photos showing that doors at the property were cracked and damaged during the tenancy with holes and gouges which resulted in the landlord having to replace the doors; and the carpet was left stained and dirty. I am satisfied that the damage was caused during the tenancy other than through fair wear and tear and the tenant is likely liable for the damage. The landlord incurred further costs to remediate the damage but, again, only wishes to recover the bond as a contribution to the costs.
Orders are made accordingly.
