Order

Tia-Mama Epiha must pay Golden Spring Group Limited as Agent for Yuman Tang $3,614.52 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,720.00 (6505156-003) to Golden Spring Group Limited as Agent for Yuman Tang immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, outgoings, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Rent and Water
The tenancy ended on 31 January 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Cleaning and Rubbish Removal
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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish. The landlord’s inspection photographs show that the carpets, bathroom, toilet, and kitchen needed cleaning. There are photographs of boxes, a mattress and other items of hard rubbish that needed to be removed.
The outside area, although not large, was densely overgrown and had to be cut back. Damage to 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 4 weeks' rent.
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to 4 weeks' 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 an internal laundry door and part of the deck during the tenancy. The damage looks quite minor, but I am satisfied it is more than fair wear and tear. The tenant has not disproved liability for the damage. The repair cost is modest, and less than 4 weeks’ rent. Filing Fee
The landlord’s application has succeeded. The filing fee must be awarded.
