Carpet Cleaning Filing Fee Property damage Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

Keighlah Walsh must pay Harcourts Gold Property Management Limited as Agent for Andrew Vaotuua $131.27 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,200.00 (6062180-002) to Harcourts Gold Property Management Limited as Agent for Andrew Vaotuua immediately.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, payment of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Rent
The tenancy ended on 27 October 2024. The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy as ordered. Other Claims
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish,
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
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.
There was damage to windows and blinds during the tenancy. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. Insurance is not a consideration because I find that most of the damage was intentional, and no single incident of damage exceeded the insurance excess in any case.
The amounts ordered were proved by the production of photographs and invoices.
I have awarded the filing fee because the landlord has succeeded.
The bond will be paid to the landlord and the tenant must pay the remaining liability.
