Order

Anna Smith must pay Trevor Clark (Rental Care) agent for M & D Taylor $3,774.32 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. Ms Smith appeared by teleconference.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates and compensation following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 24 August 2023. It was due to end 30 August 2023 but the tenant had left earlier and the landlord accepted possession from 25 August 2023. The landlord provided rent and water records. Unfortunately, the single summary included both rent and water but the water rates were clearly identifiable and the larger rent arrears claimed was reduced by the sum of the water rates included in that summary. That exercise settled the final rent arrears at $2,050.00 and water rates at $1,431.88.

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 left the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and removed most rubbish via a skip. She accepted some items were left due to the skip being filled. The landlord incurred a cost of $82.00, including dump fees, in the removal of those final items and this cost is awarded.
The landlord claimed the cost of carpet cleaning of $260.00. The requirement to clean was a term in the tenancy agreement and the landlord’s usual practise is to complete a professional clean between tenancies. In this instance, there was no evidence of any need due to any tenant failure and the claim is dismissed. This was a tenancy of some four years and it is reasonable that landlord may want to clean the carpet over such a period but the cost, unless a specific need due to the tenant is evidenced, should not be carried by the tenant.
A broken window was replaced at a cost of $190.00. The tenant acknowledged the glass had broken during the tenancy and she accepted the cost.
The amounts ordered are proved. Filing fee
Because Trevor Clark (Rental Care) agent for M & D Taylor has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
