Cleanliness Filing Fee Property damage Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlords’ names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay [the landlords] $6,446.40 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
This order supersedes the Tribunal order made on [suppressed].

Reasons

Only the landlords’ representatives attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The bond has been paid to the landlord.
The tenancy ended on 16 March 2026. The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount of rent arrears owing at the end of the tenancy as ordered.
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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The tenant did not return the keys.
The fire extinguisher was missing at the end of the tenancy.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage 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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent).
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence.
There was damage to walls, a light switch and a door frame during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
At least some of the damage was caused intentionally. Given the nature and extent of the damage the landlords’ insurance does not affect the tenants’ liability.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and invoices.
The landlords have succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee and granted their request for name suppression.
