How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 29 June 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices 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 landlord claims that tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The landlord a quote for cleaning and an outgoing in section report. The quote is for more than $1,000. The landlord says that the cleaning hasn’t yet been done even though the premises are back on the market for rent.
I have reviewed the photographs. Some cleaning is required, particularly in the kitchen. The landlord has not established that cleaning is required to the extent claimed. The standard is reasonably clean, it is not pristine or commercially clean.
