Order

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,500.00 (5478162-001) to The Property Managers Limited Sian Kelly immediately.
Frazer Cullen must pay The Property Managers Limited Sian Kelly $3,205.29 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by telephone. Ms Kelly appeared for the landlord. An unsuccessful attempt was made to contact the tenant on the number provided in the application. The hearing proceeded in their absence.
The tenancy commenced on 08 February 2022, and ended on 13 January 2024, following notice by the tenant.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal, failing to return the keys, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee.

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy on 13 January 2024.

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

The landlord is claiming $295.00 for cleaning, $253.00 for rubbish removal, and $228.28 to rekey the locks.
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, and return all keys. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 ( The “Act”)
The property is a two-bedroom unit. The landlord has provided photographs showing the property at the commencement and end of the tenancy. Having considered the evidence, I am satisfied the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The amounts claimed are reasonable and awarded in full.
The landlord states that at the end of the tenancy, the tenant advised that they had left the keys in the letter box. This had not been agreed by the landlord. A short time later, the landlord went to retrieve the keys, but they were not there. In my opinion, the tenant has not returned the keys to the landlord. To properly secure the property, the landlord had the locks rekeyed. The amount claimed in awarded.
Because The Property Managers Limited Sian Kelly has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord does not seek name suppression, and no orders are made.
