Order

KERRI LOUISE DAVID must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $4,295.71 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Ms Thompson – Wise appeared for the landlord. There was no appearance by the tenant.
The tenancy commenced on 29 March 2023 and ended on 20 June 2024 after the tenant gave notice. On 07 August 2024, the landlord filed a claim for rent arears, compensation for failing to leave the property reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish, and damage occurring during the tenancy.
The claim for damage is not being pursued and is withdrawn.
The onus of proving these claims rests with the landlord. The standard required is on the balance of probabilities. The landlord must establish more likely than not that the tenant has breached the terms of the agreement or provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (The “Act”).

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing 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 and remove all rubbish. (see section 40(1)(e)(ii) and (iii) of the Act).
The landlord has produced both pre tenancy and end of tenancy inspection reports, each of which include photographs.
After considering the evidence, I am satisfied the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord is entitled to be compensated for loss flowing from the tenant’s breach. Any compensation awarded must be reasonable in the circumstances.
The landlord is seeking $400.00 for cleaning and $2,200.00 for rubbish removal.
The property consists of three bedrooms, kitchen / dining room, living room, toilet, bathroom, laundry, and garage. No end of tenancy cleaning was completed by the tenant. The tenant left behind kitchen utensils, general household items, furniture (including a couch, large chair, shelves, single bed mattress and base, a double bed and frame, a double mattress), washing machine, two council supplied waste bins both full of general rubbish, and two old lawn mowers in the garage along with other rubbish. The items filled a 9 cubic metre skip bin. Given these circumstances, the amount claimed, which includes skip hire, a half days labour for two people to fill the bin, and disposal costs, is reasonable.
The landlord does not seek name suppression.
