Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $665.13 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by videoconference. The tenant didn’t attend and couldn’t be reached by phone.
The landlord has applied for compensation following the end of the tenancy. Rent
The tenancy ended on 4 February 2026. The landlord has provided rent records showing a rent credit owed to the tenant 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 a 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.
A heat pump remote was not returned. The landlord is entitled to be compensated for the replacement cost.
Exit inspection photos provided by the landlord show that at the end of the tenancy the tenant did not remove all rubbish. A large quantity of material some of it bulky items, was left inside and outside of the property. The landlord paid the sums claimed to have that rubbish removed and is entitled to be compensated for that cost.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
A comparison of the entry and exit inspection photos shows that during the tenancy a hole was made in a dining room door. It is more than fair wear and in the absence of evidence from the tenant showing otherwise, must be seen as the tenant’s responsibility. The repair cost is proved.
