Carpet Cleaning Filing Fee Property damage

Order

Stephen Wright must pay Christchurch Methodist Central Mission $6,734.84 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

Ms Watson attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The Tenant’s Obligations
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage 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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent).
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for. Claims
The premises were not left reasonably clean and tidy.
There was damage to premises during the tenancy. Walls, doors and windows were extensively damaged by holes being put in them and other impact damage. The nature of the damage means that it must have been caused intentionally. Ms Watson said that the tenant admitted intentionally causing the damage.
Because the damage was caused intentionally, it is not necessary to consider the landlord’s insurance.
The sums awarded were proved by the production of photographs, quotations and invoices.
The landlord has been successful and so I have awarded the filing fee.
The landlord has received the bond, so I have given the tenant credit for that.
