Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Jamilla Barthis must pay Property Scene 2 Limited As Agent For Aeon Property Ltd $1,930.02 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,320.00 (3070105-015) to Property Scene 2 Limited As Agent For Aeon Property Ltd immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference on 28 August 2024. The Tribunal was unable to contact the tenant. I was satisfied that adequate service of the hearing notice had been completed and proceeded with the hearing in the other party’s absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

This was a fixed term tenancy. It commenced on 2 February 2024 and was due to end on 31 January 2025.
I accept the landlord’s evidence that the tenant abandoned the fixed term tenancy.
Under a fixed-term tenancy, the tenant is responsible for paying all the rent for the entire term. However, if the landlord finds a new tenant, the original tenant is only liable for rent until the new tenant moves in.
The landlord is not legally required to mitigate their loss for fixed-term tenancies, as the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”) explicitly excludes mitigation requirements for these agreements.
In this case the landlord managed to mitigate the potential loss by re-letting the premises on 12 July 2024 which reduced the tenant’s liability.
The landlord has produced the rent summary and amount of rent owing has been established.
The advertising fee is reasonable to cover costs required to re-let the premises.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

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. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) RTA.
The landlord proved on the evidence that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
The amounts ordered are proved. Filing fee
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the other party to reimburse the filing fee.
