Order

Andrea Tuhua must pay Riverlands Real Estate Limited As Agent For Kim Yeoh $1,155.51 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Ms Pathak-Khan attended the teleconference hearing on behalf of the landlord. The phone number for the tenant, the last three digits being 834, was called twice. Both calls went to voicemail. As the tenant was served, the hearing proceeded in her absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. During the hearing, the landlord withdrew the rent arrears claim.

How much does the tenant owe for water bills?

The landlord provided water records and invoices that proved that the tenant owed $402.23 in water bills 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. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Cleaning and rubbish removal
The landlord said the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The landlord provided photographs of the rubbish left at the property at the end of the tenancy, which included several larger items, such as mattresses and groups of rubbish. The photographs also show there was cleaning required at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord claimed $690.00 for rubbish removal and cleaning. There was no indication on the landlord’s invoice for this work of the time taken or hourly rate of the worker involved. However, the landlord said it took them a whole day to remove the rubbish and clean the property. The landlord estimated an hourly rate of around $50-60.00/hour. For an 8-hour day of work @ $60.00, the top rate cited, the total would come to $552.00 inclusive of GST. I find this is a more than reasonable amount for the removal of rubbish and cleaning at the property at the end of the tenancy and so award $552.00 to the landlord for rubbish removal and cleaning. Locks
The landlord said the tenant abandoned the property, left the doors unlocked and did not return the keys. The landlord said it cost them $174.28 to get the front and back door locks replaced and provided an invoice in this amount. I find this a reasonable cost and award the landlord $174.28 to replace the front and back door locks. Filing fee
Because Riverlands Real Estate Limited As Agent For Kim Yeoh has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
