Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Rurka Enterprise Limited $2,753.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing on 1 July 2026. The landlord has claimed rent arrears, compensation, and the filing fee.
The residential tenancy agreement was for a fixed term from 27 September 2025 to 27 September 2026. The rent was $925.00 with a bond of $3,700.00.
In the event, the tenant paid weekly rent of $875.00 and $50.00 per week towards the bond. A total of $825.00 was paid for bond. Rent Arrears
In its order of 1 July 2026, the Tribunal found that the landlord had possession of the premises from 22 January 2026 when the entry code was changed.
The last rent payment of $875.00 was on 30 December 2025 which was for the rent period to 8 January 2026. The total rent due from 9 January 2026 to 22 January 2026 was $1,750.00.
I award rent arrears of $1,750.00 less the $825.00 paid towards the bond (an award of $925.00). Compensation
The landlord claimed for damage to external pavers, cleaning, garage remotes, letter box key replacement, and a replacement kitchen bin.
The landlord’s photographs show cracked external paying stones. The landlord says the tenant drove over them. I award the amount claimed for repair/replacement ($500.00).
The landlord’s photographs show that an in-built rubbish bin in the kitchen had been removed. There is no support for the cost of replacement, which has not been specified.
The landlord said the heat pump and garage door remotes were missing at the end of the tenancy, along with the key for the letterbox. I award the amount claimed for new remotes and keys ($1,200.00).
Rubbish and belongings were left behind at the property, and there was a need for some cleaning, mainly to the flooring. For some reason the cleaning and rubbish removal cost ($1,000.00) has been discounted by 90% in the quotation. I award the amount in the quote ($100.00). Filing Fee
The landlord has been largely successful and is awarded the filing fee.
