Order

Christopher Thomas Benjamin Peter Doughty must pay Wongeoon Vast Limited $5,439.36 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

Mr Wongeoon 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 on 26 February 2024.
The tenancy ended following an order of the Tribunal for conditional termination that the tenant failed to comply with. There was an eviction by the Court Bailiff and shortly before the eviction, the tenant intentionally and extensively damaged the premises.
There was no bond paid in relation to this tenancy. There was a bond for another tenancy that was meant to be transferred to this tenancy but that did not happen. But the bond was paid to the landlord in reduction of the rent arrears due under the previous order (application number 4747592). Steps have ben taken to enforce that order so it cannot be combined with this order. The Tenant’s Obligations
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.
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 tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
A smoke alarm was missing from the premises at the end of the tenancy.
There was extensive damage to walls, doors and windows during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The damage was plainly caused intentionally. There were numerous holes in walls, some of which had been partly repaired, doors and door frames were split, and window and door glass was broken.
The landlord has limited the claim for damage to the excess applied by its insurer to the claim in the sum of $3,750. The cost of repairs was $6,113.54 which I am satisfied was reasonable.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs, invoices and receipts.
The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee.
