[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $22,800.00 calculated as shown in table below.

The tenant must pay the debt at the rate of $200.00 per week.

The first payment must be made on Thursday 26 February 2026 and payments must continue every week until the debt is paid in full.

If the tenant fails to make any payment within 3 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,400.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord and one tenant attended the hearing, the latter by telephone.

On 21/12/2025 the landlord applied for rent arrears of $3,000.00, compensation of $33,700.00, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

The tenancy was for a fixed term from 28/4/2025 at $600.00 per week.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 21/12/2025.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing.

The tenant agreed with the amount of arrears owing.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

The landlord originally claimed compensation of $33,700.00 for cleaning, rubbish removal, skip hire, gardening, repairs, painting, replacement of damaged items, insurance excesses and a drug test kit.

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.

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.

Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income- related rent). See section 49B(3)(a) RTA.

Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent). See section 49B(3)(b) RTA. Where insurance money is irrecoverable because of the tenant's conduct, the property is treated as if it is not insured against the damage. See section 49B(3A)(a) RTA.

Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for. See section 49B(1) RTA.

After significant discussions and an agreement between the parties the claim for damage was reduced to $22,172.00.

An order by consent has been made.

As [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.

Suppression is granted to both parties pursuant to section 95A(4) as I consider it is in the interests of the parties to do so, they having come to an agreement.
