Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Lawns And Garden Work Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the party’s names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $203.85 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Both parties 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?

The tenancy ended on 31/1/2025. The landlord provided rent records 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 lawns and gardens were overgrown, although the amount awarded is reduced from that claimed as the standard is “reasonably tidy” and some of the garden work can fairly be attributed to the landlord in a tenancy of more than 6 years.
The amounts ordered are proved and the orders made by agreement.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee and approved the landlord request for name suppression.
The tenants request for name suppression is also approved with the landlord’s agreement and on the basis that there is negligible public interest in publishing their names as the bond has very nearly covered their total liability and they have undertaken to pay the small balance owing as soon as possible.
