Order

Shantel Shortcliffe-Clarke must pay Inspire Property Management Limited - As Agent For Sarah Sellar $1,886.48 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,300.00 (3603089-006) to Inspire Property Management Limited - As Agent For Sarah Sellar immediately.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend. I continued in her absence as she has been emailed notice of the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
This was a fixed term tenancy which ended early. I award rent to 27 November 2023 as claimed. The tenant had vacated by 7 November 2023 and the property was not re-tenanted until December.
The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amounts owing and these are awarded. End of tenancy costs
The landlord provided photos taken after the tenant had vacated. The premises were not reasonably clean and tidy and rubbish and belongings were left behind, some of them large (sofa and fridge).
The carpets did need to be professionally cleaned due to heavy use.
The large lawns were very overgrown, and weeds had grown through the garden beds.
I do not award the claim for pest control as the cleaning and rubbish removal work was delayed for 3 weeks so the pests could perhaps have been prevented.
One section of guttering (about 1.5 metres long) was damaged apparently by someone accidentally hitting it with a high vehicle near the end of the tenancy. This is classed as careless damage. The cost to repair this is less than the insurance excess so is awarded in full.
I award the costs claimed as all invoices were supplied. Filing fee, suppression and payment of amount owing
The landlord is entitled to the filing fee. It does not seek suppression of name.
The bond is refunded to the landlord in full.
The tenant may be able to agree on a repayment plan with the landlord if she makes contact. That could reduce collection costs and credit rating issues.
