Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

Snowden Hemi Hill must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Estate Of C.M.Bray $926.05 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,520.00 (6481447-015) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Estate Of C.M.Bray immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via video. The tenant did not join and a call out was made. The call went unanswered and to voicemail. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the call went unanswered.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 6 November 2023 after the landlord found the premises vacated and took possession. It was a fixed-term tenancy through to May 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, based on 6 November 2023, is as ordered.

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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. Two invoices were provided. Limited photos in support of the rubbish removal establish the effort and cost as reasonable (couch and tyres). No photos of the inside condition were provided by the landlord but given the premises were vacated without notice, and some items were left by the tenant, it is reasonable to assume some cleaning would be required. In the absence of the tenant to argue otherwise I accept the cleaning cost of $210.25 as well as the rubbish disposal cost of $353.93.
The following chattel was missing at the end of the tenancy: Benchtop stove. This was replaced at a cost of $79.00. An invoice supported the claim.
The amounts ordered are proved. Application filing fee
Because Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Estate Of C.M.Bray has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
