Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Auckland Property Management Limited $2,339.02 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,240.00 (3354078-008) to Auckland Property Management Limited immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with 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. This was a fixed-term tenancy that ended early after the tenant left.
A party who brings a claim to the Tenancy Tribunal must prove on the balance of probabilities (more likely than not) that their version of events took place. Independent witnesses, corroborating documents and photographs are an important part of discharging this burden of proof.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy liability ended on 12 March 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates evidence which prove the amounts owing at the end of the tenancy are as ordered. The tenant had left earlier.

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 landlord claims the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. Further, the lawns and gardens required maintenance.
Invoices established the costs of cleaning ($287.50), rubbish and item removal ($402.50), lawns and gardens ($304.00). These were supported by photographic evidence of the need. However, the gardens work included tree cutting and gutter cleaning and these are not tenant liable costs. The final award is adjusted down to reflect this.
The amounts ordered are proved. Filing fee
Because Auckland Property Management Limited has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
