Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord name and identifying details.
Zana Leigh Bays Peters must pay [The landlord/s] $49.77 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,940.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing via remote teleconference. There was no attendance by the tenant. An attempt to contact the tenant on the telephone number provided was unsuccessful.
The landlord has applied for rent 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 tenancy ended on 5 November 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted the landlord’s evidence filed in support of these two claims I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for the outstanding debt.

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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The landlord provided photographic evidence of the rubbish left behind by the tenant at the end of the tenancy. The amount of rubbish left behind was substantial. The landlord also had to spend 5 hours cleaning the premises.
The amount claimed by the landlord for cleaning is reasonable and is supported by the evidence provided. I have also sighted payment receipts for tip fees and cleaning products.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.
The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
