Mr Keogh did not attend the hearing. He answered the first call, but it then got disconnected. He did not answer the further four calls made to his phone during the hearing. He had been notified of the hearing by email and text, accordingly pursuant to section 92 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) the hearing continued in his absence.
Mr Withers had hoped that Mr Keogh would attend the hearing as his view was that Mr Keogh was not attempting to evade his obligations however is currently in a difficult place. He had signed the bond form however there was an issue with it and the Bond Centre did not accept it.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The tenancy ended on 17 February 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing 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) RTA.
The landlord has proven in evidence that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
The amount sought is proven in evidence and considered reasonable in the circumstances.
Because Whangarei Real Estate Limited T/A Harcourts Just Rentals As Agent For Steve & Amber Brown has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
