Order

Jacqueline Gaye Singleton must pay Economic Initiatives Limited $14,377.11 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

JP attended the hearing for the landlord company. The tenant did not attend. I proceeded in her absence as she has been notified of the hearing by post to the tenancy address. Text notifications have also been sent. I telephoned the mobile number provided for the tenant and confirmed that it is current although there was no answer.
The landlord provided a document identifying the tenant by full name and photograph.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and compensation for costs incurred after the tenancy ended.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy began on 8 June 2022. It ended on 4 December 2023 by previous order of the Tribunal under this application.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing. Bank statements show payments up to 9 August 2023. The landlord’s oral evidence is that no payments were received after that date. I calculate the rent owing to be $13,373.57.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

A tenant must leave tenancy 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.
Photographs were provided in evidence that show that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The carpet was stained.
A bedroom door lock had been removed and the landlord took time to reinstall this.
The lawns needed mowing.
Invoices and receipts have been provided for all claims and these are awarded and shown in the table in the compensation order.
Economic Initiatives Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim and I therefore must also award the filing fee.
The total owing is $14,377.11.
The landlord does not seek suppression of name.
