Order
- Kafui Kojo Tagboto must pay Cirone Limited T/A Onecall Property Management As Agent For Jc Property Holdings Ltd $2,952.86 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,740.00 (BN-00096347) to Cirone Limited T/A Onecall Property Management As Agent For Jc Property Holdings Ltd immediately.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing which was conducted by video conference. The tenant did not seek to be admitted to the hearing at the scheduled time. Because the tenant has been served notice of the hearing to his email address which is an address for service on his tenancy agreement, I am satisfied the service requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986, (the “RTA”) have been satisfied, and the hearing was conducted in his absence.
- 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 landlord said the tenant gave 21 days written notice to end his tenancy. The notice period expired on 4 May 2026 at which time the tenant was $4,043.86 in arrear. The landlord provided a rent summary in support of the claim.
- The claim and amount ordered are proved.
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 said the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably tidy and did not remove all their rubbish. The landlord provided photographs in support of this claim.
- The landlord is claiming $621.00 for rubbish removal and cleaning.
- The claims and amount ordered are proved.
- Because Cirone Limited T/A Onecall Property Management As Agent For Jc Property Holdings Ltd has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
