Rubbish Removal Filing Fee Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,618.99 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,680.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing.
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 charges?

The tenancy ended on .23/7/2025 The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

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 did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The amount awarded is reduced from that claimed to reflect both the “reasonable” standard that a tenant must meet, and that the landlord provided only scant evidence to support the claims.
The tenant requested an early end of the fixed term in May 2025 and agreed to pay the rent until a new tenant was found and the out of pocket costs associated with breaking the contract. While the property took a couple of months to relet the landlord said this was because the tenant did not co operate with viewings by providing the property in a presentable condition. As the tenant agreed to pay the costs that were incurred at the time of the request in May 2025, (and the landlord has not charged a reasonable portion of the actual costs) I have awarded the advertising cost.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee and approved the landlord’s request for name suppression.
