Tenancy Tribunal case 4876700 — Cleanliness at 44 Korimako Lane, Sydenham, Christchurch 8023
Decided 30 May 2024 · Published 30 May 2024 · Application 4876700
Landlord favoured
- Cleanliness
Order
- Dion Shane Witute must pay Otautahi Community Housing Trust $646.16 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
Reasons
- Only the landlord’s representative attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for compensation following the end of the tenancy.
- At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all their belongings and rubbish.
- The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all their belongings and rubbish.
- The tenant removed some of his belongings and gave the landlord authority to dispose of the rest of them as they saw fit. The landlord has done so, and there was nothing of saleable of value amongst the goods they disposed of.
- The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and work orders. The landlord has discounted the actual costs.
- The landlord has received the bond in the sum of $304. The rent account was also in credit in the sum of $105.28. The landlord is entitled to retain the rent credit to offset some of the costs. Therefore, the tenant has been given credit for those amounts.
- The landlord has succeeded and so the tenant must pay the filing fee.
