Order

Aaliyah Makau Tuapaki must pay Spectre Property Management Services Limited $3,769.79 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to refund the bond of $2,320.00 to Spectre Property Management Services Limited immediately.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, 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 did not remove all rubbish from the premises at the end of the premises. The landlord produced photographs showing extensive rubbish inside and outside the property.
The amount ordered is proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy: the tenant ripped out the whole bathroom and damaged doors throughout the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
