Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Yue Qiu and Donglin Wei must pay Manfei Su $4,520.44 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The tenants’ cross application (4864380) is dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The parties were assisted by court appointed interpreters.
The tenants’ cross application is dismissed.
During the hearing it became apparent that the tenants’ claims have already been considered by this Tribunal in an order dated 12 December 2023. The tenant cannot relitigate the same claims which have already been decided.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation for cleaning and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenants moved out of the property on 7 January 2023. They were on a fixed term agreement for 6 months. The landlord confirmed during the hearing that the new tenants did not move in until 19 March 2023. The landlord claims rent arrears up to the week ending of 18 March 2023.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted this evidence I am satisfied that the tenants are responsible for this debt.
An earlier decision (4470480) dated 28 February 2023 declared this to be a residential tenancy and confirmed that this Tribunal does have jurisdiction to hear this matter.

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. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The applicant is required to establish the claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.
The landlord claims that the tenants did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The only evidence filed by the landlord in support of this claim is an invoice from Excellent Handyman Services Limited dated 8 January 2023 and a small number of unhelpful and undated photographs.
The landlord has not provided any entry photographs taken at the start of the tenancy. There are a very small number of undated photographs provided which are completely unhelpful. As a very minimum the landlord should have provided entry and exit photographs of the entire premises in support of this claim.
The landlord’s claim for cleaning is not supported by the evidence filed with the application.
Accordingly, the cleaning claim must be dismissed.
Because Manfei Su has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
