Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay The Rent Shop Limited as Agent for Saleem Jin $1,814.51 from the bond, calculated below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,480.00 (5200657-008) immediately apportioned as follows: The Rent Shop Limited as Agent for Saleem Jin: $1,814.51 [The tenant/s] tenant/s]: $665.49

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, The tenant didn’t attend and couldn’t be reached by phone.
The landlord initially applied for compensation for unpaid water rates.
In an Order made on 3 June 2026 the Tribunal adjourned the application so the landlord could provide further evidence, because the water rates invoices provided did not match the claims.
The tenancy ended in the meantime, on 23 June 2026.
The landlord has provided evidence proving the water rates owed at the end of the tenancy. That evidence shows that water is supplied to these preemies and another flat. The water usage of the of the other flat is recorded by a check meter. The landlord apportions the Watercare invoices between these premises and the other flat based on that recorded usage, which is appropriate 1 . The tenants are sent the water car invoices together photos of the check meter reading.
Allowance is made in the Order for a rent credit due to the tenant at the end of the tenancy.
The claims raised at the hearing include claims for cleaning costs and repair of minor wall damage.
Entry and inspection photographs provided by the landlord show that in some respects the premises were not left reasonably clean and tide and that the wall damage occurred during the tenancy and is mare than fair wear and tear.
The costs incurred to have the cleaning and repair work done are proved by invoices provided.
I was unsure whether it would be fair to consider those additional claims because it was not clear whether the tenant was aware that they would be raised at this hearing. The landlord has provided evidence of communication with the tenant noting, “...there was $1,366.89 owing in water, $370.00 for the wall repairs and a cleaning bill of $377.20. An application will be made through the tenancy tribunal to recover these funds.”
I am satisfied that the tenant was aware of the nature and amount of these additional claims and had the opportunity to dispute them by attending the hearing. It if fair that I include them in this Order. 1 S.39 RTA
Because The Rent Shop Limited as Agent for Saleem Jin has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
