Filing Fee Property damage Rent arrears

Order

Tammy Rosemary Pitkethley must pay Edward Robert Meili $2,579.02 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,260.00 (5187182-012) to Edward Robert Meili immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing; the respondent did not attend.
The fixed-term tenancy ended early by consent on 30 January 2024. The landlord has applied for rent arrears to that date, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and electricity?

The landlord provided rent records and electricity invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $2,520.00 for rent arrears and $619.68 for electricity.

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 removed chattels that were provided new at the outset of the tenancy. The landlord provided records for the replacement of the following chattels: 24” television; $249.00, vacuum cleaner; $179.00, aerial lead; $23.18, toaster; $26.00, cordless jug; $27.04, desk chair; $139.00.
I have taken into account betterment and depreciation. The landlord should be returned to the position they would have been in had the tenant not breached their obligations, and should not be better or worse off. In calculating depreciation, I have taken into account the age and condition of the items at the start of the tenancy and their likely useful lifespan.
Two key fobs were not returned despite the landlord’s numerous requests, and these incurred a charge from the body corporate.
The landlord stated that the apartment was not left reasonably clean and tidy, but no pre-tenancy or post-tenancy photographs were provided, and I do not find this claim proved.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Edward Robert Meili has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
