Reasons
- Elva Li attended the hearing for the landlord.
- The tenant did not attend. The hearing proceeded in their absence.
- The landlord applies for compensation for the cost of cleaning and rubbish removal, and reimbursement of the filing fee.
- At the end of the tenancy, tenants must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish. 1 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, s 40(1)(e)(iii).
- I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
- Ms Li has provided invoices that prove the landlord’s costs for having the premises cleaned and the rubbish removed.
- The tenant must reimburse the landlord for the filing fee because the landlord has fully succeeded in the claims it pursued.
