Amount: $3,500.00
Awarded to: Landlord
Reason: comply with Order 1 above, then the landlord may undertake the work and charge the tenant the reasonable cost of the wor

Order

The tenant must carry out the following work to the premises, which must be completed by 5pm on Thursday 13 March 2025: a. Remove the tenant’s belongings, which are currently stored outside his unit in a communal walkway, from the walkway so that the corridor is free of obstacles and is kept clear as a means of escape from fire.
If the tenant fails to comply with Order 1 above, then the landlord may undertake the work and charge the tenant the reasonable cost of the work up to $3,500.00. These costs may be treated as rent in arrears and enforced accordingly.

Reasons

The landlord attended the telephone hearing today. Calls to the tenant went to voicemail. The notice of hearing was sent to the tenant on 19 December 2024.
The landlord claims that the tenant has failed to keep the premises tidy and failed to ensure escape routes are kept clear. The landlord requests a work order with provision for the landlord to perform the work and charge the cost to the tenant if the tenant does not comply with the work order.
A work order may authorise the landlord to undertake the work and charge the tenant the costs of doing the work, if the tenant fails to comply with the work order and any alternative monetary order. A monetary limit must be imposed by the Tribunal on the amount of costs that can be charged. These costs can be treated as rent in arrears and enforced accordingly. In this case, because the issue relates to health and safety, the Tribunal does not have to make an alternative monetary order.
The landlord provided photographs, taken today, which show belongings stored in the communal corridor. The walkway leads to adjoining units and is part of the shared areas of the apartment building. The photographs show a pram, a shopping trolley, several scooters, a washing machine, plants, a fridge, and a BBQ, amongst other items. Several appliances are plugged in and appear to be in use. The electrical wires are a trip-hazard. The belongings block about half the width of the corridor and mean that escape routes in the event of fire are potentially compromised.
I have made a work order. I have set the monetary limit at $3,500.00 which is an assessment based on what can be seen in the photographs. This is the maximum amount the landlord can charge the tenant for the cost of doing the work without seeking an amendment to this order.
