14B Landsdowne Terrace, Karori, Wellington 6012 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5420106 — Cleanliness

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s names and identifying details. 2.

The Bond Centre is therefore to pay the remainder of the bond of ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows: Kemeys Brothers Management Limited: $0.00 [The tenant/s]: $0.00

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for compensation and a refund of part of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

The tenants have applied for a refund of the bond.

The tenancy ran for two years from November 2023 until 2025.

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 and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The carpets were stained and needed professional cleaning. The portion of the total invoice the landlord has claimed is reasonable and awarded.

The total claim for general cleaning is reduced from the $500 claimed to $200.

The landlord spent $650 total on cleaning; the cleaning was to a standard that the property could be put on the market for sale. In other words, all marks were cleaned from all surfaces and the property was immaculate after the deep clean.

This is not the condition tenants are required to leave a property in at the end of the tenancy.

Some cleaning was required however to meet even the “reasonable” standard, in particular the floors needed vacuuming and mopping, and some cupboards and surfaces were not even wiped and the oven and stove required cleaning.

In addition, there were items left that needed to be disposed of.

The amounts ordered are considered reasonable in the Tribunal’s view, in what it is acknowledged is not an exact science and proved.

The tenants request for name suppression is not opposed and approved.

Both parties paid filing fees. That cost is to lie where it falls as both applications are partly successful.
