The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,460.00 (BN-00114214) to Wolfbrook Property Management Limited as Agent for Avonn Manukaroa Anderson immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend. I rang the tenant on her mobile number twice and left a message. The calls went unanswered. The tenant was served with the notice of hearing. I am proceeding with the hearing in the absence of the tenant.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

This was a fixed term tenancy that was due to end on 31 July 2026. The tenant abandoned the property at the end of May 2026. The landlord became aware that the tenant was not living at the property and carried out an inspection of the property on 26 May 2026. The tenant was not residing in the property at the time of the inspection and had amounted significant rent arrears.

The landlord was able to relet the property to new tenants and their tenancy commenced on 24 June 2026.

How much is owed for rent ?

The tenancy ended on 23 June 2026. The landlord provided rent record which prove the amount of $4920.00 owing at the end of the tenancy on 23 June 2026.

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for the rent arrears.

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 reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.

The landlord provided the Tribunal with an exit inspection report and invoices. The inspection report attached detailed photos of the property at the end of the tenancy.

The photos show the tenant did not leave the property in a reasonably clean and tidy condition. The tenant had left a number of items and rubbish in the property that the landlord had to dispose of. The property needed to be cleaned, and rubbish removed. The lawns were overgrown and in need of mowing.

The landlord provided an invoice from Kiwi Lawn Care Limited dated 18 June 2026 for $20.00 to mow the lawn, cut the edges and blow the path. Furthermore, an invoice from John’s Home and Garden Limited dated 20 June 2026 for a full clean, removal of discarded furniture to the rubbish tip and repair to the TV cabinet latch. The invoice was for $707.25.

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their costs for the cleaning, rubbish removal and lawns.

The amounts ordered are proved.

The Bond Centre is to refund the bond to the landlord immediately to offset the debt owed by the tenant to the landlord. .

Because Wolfbrook Property Management Limited as Agent for Avonn Manukaroa Anderson has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
