Order

[The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] to pay Udy Realty Limited As Agents For Ann & Peter Thornhill $1,750.11 from the bond, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,480.00 (3064211-009) immediately apportioned as follows: Udy Realty Limited As Agents For Ann & Peter Thornhill: $1,750.11 [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s]: $729.89

Reasons

The landlord and the tenant [The tenant/s] attended the hearing via remote teleconference. The tenant [The tenant/s] was unable to attend.
The landlord has applied for rent and water arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The landlord provided rent records and a water rates invoice which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The tenants accept the claims for outstanding rent and water charges.
The claim for rent arrears and water charges are ordered by consent.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs. Cleaning
The landlord claims that the tenants did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The tenants accept 50% of the amount claimed which has been accepted by the landlord prior to the hearing.
The reduced amount for cleaning is allowed by the consent of both parties. Carpet cleaning
The landlord claims that the tenants did not leave the carpet reasonably clean. They say that they had to have the carpet professionally cleaned to remove various stains.
The landlord has not provided adequate evidence in support of this claim. Although the landlord provided a selection of photographs of the stained carpet, at the very least I would have expected a pre tenancy report with photographs confirming the condition of the carpet at the start of the tenancy. There was no exit inspection report filed with the application. The tenants also dispute the claim for carpet cleaning.
Accordingly, the claim for carpet cleaning must be dismissed.
Because Udy Realty Limited As Agents For Ann & Peter Thornhill has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
