The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,380.00 (BN-10077601) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Turenhout, [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The named tenant appeared by teleconference as did the property manager. Whilst there was another tenant named in the application there was agreement for me to remove her as she left the property some time ago and is not to be held responsible for this debt nor to be named.

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.

The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. Whilst he said he did his best he did not oppose the amount being sought. He also accepted the costs to clean the carpet and the flea bomb charges given the need to do this at the end of the tenancy due to the pet that the tenant had at the property.
The amounts ordered are proved.
