Order

Tadas Jievaitis owes Latner Limited (Delwyn Armstrong) $175.80 from the bond, as calculated in table below:
Latner Limited (Delwyn Armstrong) is to pay $94.20 from the bond held to Tadas Jievaitis immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The tenant has applied for a refund of the bond following the end of the tenancy. The landlord has applied for a partial refund of the bond for compensation and rent following the end of the boarding house tenancy. The landlord holds a bond of $270.00 for the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The outstanding rent arrears dispute arises from the notice period given by the tenant.
The parties advise that the tenant gave two weeks’ notice to vacate the property, however just before the agreed vacate date, a conversation was held between the parties where the tenant advised that he may need to have the room for longer and the landlord agreed to this. However, one day later, the tenant advised that he would be leaving the property on the original notified date.
The landlord considered that the conversation held cancelled the original notice to vacate, and 48 hours’ notice was required in accordance with s66V of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
Accordingly, the landlord claims that three days of rent remain outstanding. The tenant accepts he owes one day of rent but does not believe the conversation held cancelled the original notice.
The tenant accepts that in the conversation with the landlord he advised that he wasn’t sure if he was going to be moving out, due to a change in his circumstances. The landlord was therefore in a position of not being able to rent out the room and holding it for the tenant, therefore in my view the notice to vacate was cancelled or withdrawn and the tenant was required to give a new 48 hours’ notice.
The rent for three days is $115.80, and the amount ordered is proven.

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

The landlord has claimed costs of $60.00 for cleaning the tenant’s room and washing linen following the end of the tenancy.
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all goods and rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 66M(b) to (e) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord advises that most of the tenants are international and to assist them with leaving the property, they are provided with a useful help sheet on cleaning that is required to their room prior to vacating the property to assist them to comply with the RTA. The landlord has provided photographs that show the room did require further cleaning and in addition the linen was not washed.
The tenant submits that he spoke with the landlord on site and no issues were raised with the standard of the room. As advised in the hearing, it is not always possible to identify any cleanliness issues until the tenant removes all belongings and vacates.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all goods and rubbish.
The landlord has claimed for cleaning / washing costs of $60.00 and the amount ordered is proven. R Harvey-Lane 19 December 2024
