Cleanliness Filing Fee Rent arrears Rubbish Removal

Order

Harry Paoratoho must pay Shona Jaunas $2,711.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The landlord shall dispose of the goods left at the premises by the tenant by: a. selling all goods with a saleable value by public auction or by private contract at a reasonable market price, and b. disposing of all goods with no saleable value as the landlord sees fit.
The amount owing to the applicant out of the proceeds of any sale is $2,711.00.
Shona Jaunas must pay the proceeds of any sale, less the amount owing in terms of this Order, to the Bond Centre together with a copy of this order.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant was unable to be contacted on the phone number specified in the Notice of Hearing, which was duly served.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended when the tenant’s partner gave notice on 19 December 2025 that the tenant wished to end the tenancy as soon as possible. Four weeks’ notice was required (see s.51(2B) RTA as it then applied) making termination date 16 January 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to that date. The calculation of rent owed excludes payments made for electricity and an additional $30.00 per week paid during part of the tenancy for some additional land rented by the tenant.

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.
Photographs provided by the landlord from the end of the tenancy show that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The compensation claimed is reasonable and is proved by invoices provided. Disposal of Goods
The landlord has applied for the disposal of goods that the tenant left at the premises at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord has been unable to arrange with the tenant for collection of the goods.
It is not practicable for the landlord to the return the goods to the tenant. Some of the goods (for example sheep left on the property) are likely to have a value above the cost of storing, transporting and selling them. The landlord must sell those goods at a reasonable market price.
The landlord may deduct any amount owing from the sale proceeds, and must pay the balance to the Bond Centre. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2),(3) and (4), 62C(1)(b),(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
The landlord may dispose of any goods that have no saleable value.
Because Shona Jaunas has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
