Order

Zhuo Huang must pay Shelter Realty Limited T/A Harcourts New Lynn Acting Agent For Marie Bakker & Brian Cullen $1,474.21 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,960.00 (6512225-001) to Shelter Realty Limited T/A Harcourts New Lynn Acting Agent For Marie Bakker & Brian Cullen immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
This is in relation to the downstairs area. The upstairs area is dealt with separately at NZTT 4888661.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenancy ended on 29 th May 2024. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The tenant must pay the landlord $1,540.00 for the rent arrears and $411.27 for water rates arrears.
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. See section 40(1)(e) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The tenant did not return all the keys.
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. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
There was damaged caused to the walls. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The tenant left the fixed-term tenancy earlier than agreed. I order the tenant to pay the break lease fee as above.
The amounts ordered above are proved.
Because Shelter Realty Limited T/A Harcourts New Lynn Acting Agent For Marie Bakker & Brian Cullen has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
