Carpet Cleaning Rubbish Removal

Order

Coby Graham to pay Crockers Property Management Limited $1,296.30 from the bond, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,600.00 (6186740-002) immediately apportioned as follows: Crockers Property Management Limited: $1,296.30 Coby Graham: $1,303.70

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing this afternoon.
The landlord applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenant applied for refund of the bond of $2,600.00. Rent and water charges
The tenancy ended on 16 June 2023. The landlord provided rent records and water invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The tenant did not dispute these charges. Other claims
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.
There was a small amount of rubbish left behind. There were two garden bags and a few small items in the garage. There were some small items of rubbish in the garden. The tenant said there was only one garden rubbish bag at the property, but the landlord’s exit inspection photographs show there were two. I find that the rubbish removal costs claimed are reasonable.
The tenant cleaned prior to the end of the tenancy and had a professional company clean the carpets. Despite these efforts, there was a bright stain in one of the bedrooms. The landlord said the cost for removing this spot was reasonable compared to the cost of cleaning all the carpet. I note that the amount claimed is less than the landlord was invoiced for the stain removal ($345.00).
The claim for wall repairs was withdrawn at the hearing ($345.00) and no evidence was presented in support of the claim for cleaning ($460.00). Filing fee and name suppression
Both parties have had some success. It is appropriate that they bear their own costs.
Neither party has been “wholly or substantially” successful. I therefore decline to grant suppression (section 95A Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
