Cleanliness Pest Control Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

Kerry Marie Toma Tilali must pay Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities $5,555.80 immediately, calculated as shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to end of 04/10/2024$1,505.00 Outstanding invoice pest control$139.00 Cleaning$450.00 Rubbish removal$3,461.80 Total award$5,555.80

Reasons

Tai Suemai attended the hearing for the landlord.
The tenant did not attend. The hearing continued in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord applies for rent arrears, and unpaid invoice for pest control, and compensation following the end of the tenancy.

How much does the tenant owe for rent and unpaid invoices?

The tenancy ended on 4 October 2024. The landlord provided rent records proving the amount of unpaid rent.
The landlord paid for pest control during the tenancy and on-charged the cost to the tenant. I am satisfied that the tenant still owes the landlord $139.00 for this.
The Tribunal orders the tenant to pay the arrears and the unpaid amount of the invoice as set out in the table above.

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 and remove all rubbish. 1
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The amount claimed for cleaning is reduced from $678.61 to $450.00 because the lack of reasonable cleanliness warranted less cleaning than the amount originally sought.
The amount sought for removing the internal rubbish was $1,816.44. The Tribunal orders only $1,000.00 for this invoice because the photographs indicate that the amount of internal rubbish did not warrant the full cost sought for removal. On the other hand, the $2,461.80 sought for removing the exterior rubbish is allowed because the photographs prove the tenant left a lot of rubbish outside including wooden pallets and a rudimentary carport structure that to be removed.
I am satisfied that the amounts ordered for cleaning and rubbish removal are proved. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, s 40(1)(e)(iii).
