Cleanliness Filing Fee Rubbish Removal Water Rates

Order

Kendra Leone must pay Iron Bridge Property Management (Auck) Limited As Agent For K. Slavich & P. Slavich $2360.00 from the bond, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,360.00 (6273012-001) to Iron Bridge Property Management (Auck) Limited As Agent For K. Slavich & P. Slavich immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video. Two calls to the tenant went unanswered and to voicemail. After the first call went to voicemail, a brief message was left introducing myself and explaining the purpose of the call. The message concluded with the advice I would try a second time after waiting some minutes. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the second call also went unanswered.
The landlord has applied for, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenant is believed to have moved overseas. Given likely enforcement challenges, the landlord capped the total claimed at the bond.

How much is owed for water rates?

The landlord provided water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy was $96.26.

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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The house lot was effectively abandoned and the owners had to undertake significant cleaning and removal of rubbish. The large amount of items abandoned were removed by the owners and stored for a long period before disposal after no response or engagement by the tenant.
The owners undertook all work themselves and provided an accounting of their time.
I am satisfied that the quantum costs incurred and claimed by the landlord, due to the tenant failures, are well in excess of the balance of the bond. A large number of photos support the claimed effort.
The amounts ordered are proved. Given the claims cap at the bond amount, further claims for door and window repairs are acknowledged but not subject to any determination here. Filing fee
Because Iron Bridge Property Management (Auck) Limited As Agent For K. Slavich & P. Slavich has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
