Filing Fee Property damage Rubbish Removal

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details. 2.

Reasons

The previous order sets out the background to the application.
In that order I granted termination and possession and made monetary orders for rent arrears and change of locks. I granted a continuation for the landlord to bring a further claim for vacated costs.
The second hearing took place in [Event location suppressed] on 16 January 2026. [The landlord’s representative] represented the landlord. There was no appearance by the tenant.
The further costs sought by the landlord are: a. Cleaning and rubbish removal $1,477.75; and b. Replacement of curtains over the ranchslider $207.00.
[The landlord’s representative] provided a copy of a basic invoice from the person who carried out the cleaning and rubbish removal work. The invoice does not provide any breakdown of the number of hours, the hourly rate, or the rubbish dumping costs. It simply states the total cost of $1,477.75.
[The landlord’s representative] provided photographs showing the unit after the cleaning and rubbish removal was completed.
At the previous hearing [The landlord’s representative] provided an end of tenancy inspection report with photographs. The photographs show that the unit was left in an extremely unclean and untidy state, with rubbish and personal belongings throughout.
I am satisfied that the total amount claimed for cleaning and rubbish removal is fair and reasonable.
[The landlord’s representative] explained that the curtains over the ranchslider had to be replaced because they were so dirty.
I accept [The landlord’s representative] oral evidence on this point, which is consistent with the condition of the property as shown in the exit inspection report.

The landlord has been successful in this application, and I must also award the landlord the filing fee.
