The tenancy ended on 26 December 2026. The landlord provided rent records, and which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

The tenant thought that she had paid her rent two weeks in advance, but when we went through the rent statement, she accepted that there were some weeks where the rent was paid a few days late or not at all and that had used the rent in the advance.

The landlord sought payment of the water rates for the last 3 months of the tenancy. he provided invoices for these months, which showed that he had also deducted $100 per month as per the agreement that he had with the tenant reducing these invoices.

The amount awarded is proven. Cleaning and rubbish removal

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 landlord provided photographs of the rubbish left behind at the end of the tenancy.

The landlord seeks payment for cleaning and labour for filling the skip bins as well as the cost of the skip bins.

The tenant had not appreciated how much rubbish was left behind.

There was a dispute about whether the skip bins were used for the tenant’s rubbish or not.
