Filing Fee Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agents For Qh Homeland Trust $1,109.48 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,460.00 (6304028-014) to Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agents For Qh Homeland Trust immediately.
Both parties attended the hearing, the applicant attended by video and the tenant attended by telephone. During the proceeding, the tenant interjected and subsequently disconnected the call. An attempt was made to reconnect with the tenant; however, the call went directly to voicemail. Background:
The applicant states that the tenancy ended on 31 August 2025, by way of tenant notice. The applicant seeks payment of rent arrears owing up to that date, totalling $1,521.43. In addition, the applicant claims compensation for costs associated with cleaning, rubbish removal, and the replacement of a curtain, as detailed in an invoice totalling $1,020.05.

Is the respondent liable for the rent arrears?

The applicant has provided rent records confirming the amount owing to the 31 st of August 2025. I am satisfied that these records are accurate, and the amount claimed is therefore awarded.

Is the tenant liable for cleaning, damage and Rubbish removal invoice?

The applicant has provided both pre-tenancy and post-tenancy photographs. The post-tenancy photographs show that the property was not left in a reasonably clean and tidy condition and would have required cleaning and rubbish removal. I am satisfied that this constitutes a breach of the tenant’s obligations under section 40(1)(e)(iii) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, to leave the premises in a reasonably clean and tidy state at the end of the tenancy and to remove all rubbish.
I am further satisfied that the curtains in bedroom 1 were removed. The pre- tenancy photographs show the curtains in place, whereas the post-tenancy photographs confirm their absence. I find that the removal of the curtains amounts to intentional damage, in breach of the tenant’s obligations under section 40(2)(a) of the Act. Accordingly, the cost of replacement is the tenant’s liability, and the invoice is awarded. The filing fee:
As the applicant has been wholly successful in their application, the filing fee is awarded. H Ben Fayed 05 November 2025
