Order

Daniel James Wood must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For The Imperial Trust $6,209.03 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing via remote teleconference. Several attempts were made to contact the tenant on the telephone number provided. All attempts were unsuccessful, with each call going straight to voicemail. The hearing continued in the absence of the tenant.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 20 January 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord provided an updated rent schedule and spreadsheet confirming the amount outstanding. The landlord also provided Watercare invoices confirming the amount outstanding for water usage. Having sighted this evidence I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for this debt.
The claims for outstanding rent and water charges are proven.

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.
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The tenant did not return the keys.
The landlord provided comprehensive photographic evidence in support of these claims. The landlord also provided invoices from Junk Run dated 24 January 2025; J and J German Locksmiths dated 21 January 2025 and Sunny Life Cleaning Limited dated 3 February 2025.
The evidence clearly confirms that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonable clean and tidy and remove all rubbish. There were also large furniture items which had to be removed. The amounts claimed are reasonable.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For The Imperial Trust has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
