Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing represented by Ms Jordan. There was no attendance by the tenants.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

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 (RTA). The tenant is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) RTA. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenants did not remove all rubbish and belongings from the premises at the end of the tenancy.
The bathroom fan was not reasonably clean at the end of the tenancy and required cleaning.
There were stains on the carpet at the end of the tenancy which required cleaning. The landlord seeks the costs of cleaning the carpets throughout and the costs of treating six stains. I only allow the stain removal costs because otherwise the carpets throughout appeared to be reasonably clean based on the photo evidence.
The tenant did not return the keys.
Various chattels were missing at the end of the tenancy such that the landlord had to replace light bulbs, smoke alarm batteries, the missing letterbox, and some missing fence palings.
