Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 2 September 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of $1328.57 owing at the end of the tenancy.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for rent arrears.

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. The tenant is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord has provided the Tribunal with an entry and exit report and photographs. The photos show that the property was not left in a reasonable clean and tidy condition.
The landlord has provided invoices from DN Restoration Services dated 26 August 2024 for $400.00 for carpet cleaning, $866.25 for cleaning on 29 August 2024, $680.16 for rubbish removal on 23 August 2024 and $200 for lawn mowing on 10 September 2024.
The tenant does not dispute the amounts claimed. Unfortunately, the tenant was seriously injured and unable to do the work required to leave the property in a reasonable clean and tidy condition.
The following chattels were missing at the end of the tenancy: -12 light bulbs and 2 heat lamps.
The landlord had to replace light bulbs and has provided an invoice for $75.00 to replace the bulbs.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claims.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because East Coast Realty Limited As Agent For Jingyl Chen has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
