Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Earth Connections Limited As Agents For Charles & Rose Namba $1,022.29 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,440.00 (6451112-003) to Earth Connections Limited As Agents For Charles & Rose Namba immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended today’s hearing.
The tenant did not attend the video hearing so was called twice on the phone number in the application. Both calls went to answerphone. I am satisfied that the tenant has been given proper notice of today’s hearing and have proceeded in their absence.
The application was filed more than 2 months after the tenancy ended, but the tenant was served at the email address given in the tenancy agreement as an address for service. The landlord also confirmed that the tenant uses that email address.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on the 2 May 2025 after the landlord gave the tenant a 90 day notice. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at 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, and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord provided an inspection report and photographs taken by him on the 2 May 2025, they describe that the walls, window sills, oven and floors needed cleaning and that the tenant had left her goods outside that needed to be removed.
The landlord says that they gave the tenant an opportunity to come back and complete the cleaning, but she did not do that. They had to get in cleaners and have provided the Tribunal with the cleaner’s invoice.
The landlord says that they tried on numerous occasions to get the tenant to pick up her belongings, but that as the tenant had not done that two months after the tenancy ended, they paid someone to dispose of the goods. The landlord provided me with a copy of the invoice for the disposal of the goods.
I am satisfied that the amounts awarded are reasonable for the work that was done and award the landlord those amounts.
As the landlord has been successful, I award the landlord the filing fee.
