Filing Fee Rubbish Removal Water Rates

Order

Nikau Samuel Tumoana must pay Enfield Property Management Limited $2,712.40 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Tribunal Order 5155473 dated 25 February 2025 is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing on 22 May 2025. The tenant did not.
The Tribunal made an order in relation to this tenancy on 25 February 2025. In the order, the Tribunal terminated the tenancy and ordered the tenant to pay the landlord $1,722.28 in rent arrears and the filing fee. The landlord gave evidence that the order is not under arrangement. Therefore, I have incorporated it into the terms of this order for enforcement purposes at the landlord’s request.
The landlord has applied for outstanding water rates and gas invoices, compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
As the applicant, the landlord must prove their claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities. WATER & GAS INVOICES
The tenancy ended on 26 February 2025.
The landlord submitted invoices from the body corporate for water and gas usage up to the end of the tenancy. These invoices prove the tenant owes $263.12 in water and gas.
The landlord’s claim for outstanding water and gas is granted for $263.12. 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. 1
The landlord submitted photographs taken at the end of the tenancy. Large furniture items such as a sofa and bed have been left behind by the tenant. Rubbish, perishable food items and miscellaneous household items have also been left behind. The premises are dirty and have not been cleaned.
On the basis of the photographs taken at the end of the tenancy, I find the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord seeks compensation of $1,610.00 for cleaning and rubbish removal. The landlord submitted a note from “L & L Services” for this amount, broken down as follows: a. Cleaning:$900.00 b. Rubbish removal:$710.00 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 40(1)(e)(ii) – (v).
The note is not a proper invoice. It does not contain the name and registration number of the supplier, the name and address of the recipient or the total amount of GST charged or a statement that the cost includes GST.
The landlord gave evidence that “L & L Services” is the owner’s company and the owner completed the cleaning and rubbish removal themselves. I gave the landlord an opportunity to contact the owner to request a proper invoice however, the owner was not able to be contacted during the hearing.
In these circumstances, I must order an amount that fairly and reasonably reflects the amount of time most likely spent removing the rubbish and cleaning the premises. I consider $700.00 to be fair and reasonable. In reaching this figure, I have had regard to the fact that large furniture items were left behind by the tenant. I have also had regard to the level of cleanliness of the premises and their size. This was a small, one bedroom apartment.
The landlord’s claim for cleaning and rubbish removal is granted for $700.00.

FILING FEE

Because Enfield Property Management Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
