Cleanliness Filing Fee Property damage Rent arrears

Order

Lana Webb must pay Otautahi Community Housing Trust $1,527.06 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. The landlord has received the bond. Rent
The tenancy ended on 9 July 2024. The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy as ordered. Tenants’ Other Obligations
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage 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.
Where the damage is caused carelessly, and is covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to the lesser of the insurance excess or four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market rent).
Tenants are liable for the cost of repairing damage that is intentional or which results from any activity at the premises that is an imprisonable offence. This applies to anything the tenant does and anything done by a person they are responsible for. Claims
The premises were not left reasonably clean.
There was paint damage to carpet in the lounge and bedroom, damage to walls and to the bathroom vinyl during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and evidence of the cost of remedial work including painting and replacement of the damaged carpet and vinyl. The landlord has not claimed the full cost of the work and the discounts they have applied are very reasonable to the tenant.
The premises were not insured and the sums awarded for each event causing damage does not exceed the tenant’s maximum liability. Filing Fee
The landlord has succeeded and so the tenant must pay the filing fee.
