Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
Mr Waters and Mr Trusttum attended for the landlord.
The landlord has applied for compensation following the end of the tenancy.
The parties had already agreed that the tenant is liable for these costs and an arrangement was made between the parties that the tenant would make payments at $30.00 per week.
The tenant has already made six payments with the next payment due today, 3 September 2024.
The bond has already been paid to the landlord by consent.
The parties agree that the tenant was in credit by $170.29 in her rent account at the end of the tenancy.

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 under section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy in all respects and did not remove all rubbish.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to 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 under sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B of the Act.
During the tenancy some areas of the property were damaged and needed to be repainted. The landlord provided a discounted invoice and photographs to confirm the damage.
The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant accepts liability for it.
The amounts ordered are proved.
As this order formalises an arrangement already made between the parties, the landlord is not claiming the filing fee.
