Cleanliness Rubbish Removal

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and LOPETI [The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,237.69 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The Landlord attended the hearing. The Tenant did not appear.
The landlord has applied for compensation.

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 is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The Tenant did not leave the premises in a reasonably clean and tidy condition and failed to remove all rubbish from the property. In particular, the Tenant did not clean the kitchen cupboards, oven, stove, or rangehood to a reasonably clean and tidy standard. The Tenant also left behind tyres and rubbish in the garage, as well as rubbish around the property, including rubbish beneath the subflooring. The costs claimed for the exterior rubbish estimated a volume of 3 cubic metres. However, the vacate inspection report and accompanying photographs do not adequately establish the presence of rubbish beneath the house. There was no photograph or remarks in the report. The external rubbish shown in the evidence consisted of items including a door, a filing cabinet, and some pieces of timber and other rubbish.
In considering the evidence provided, I am satisfied of the costs claimed for cleaning the house, the kitchen and removal of rubbish in the garage and the tyres however I am not satisfied of full amount claimed for exterior rubbish removal as there was no evidence of the rubbish under the house.
For this reason, I have awarded $100.00 in respect of the external rubbish.
The amounts ordered are proved for the other claims.
