Order

Nathan Hemi Williams must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,159.63 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 4 March 2025 under application 5174251.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
On the 4 March 2025, under application TT 5174251 the Tribunal made the following orders: The tenancy of Nathan Hemi Williams at Unit/Flat 7, 83 Beresford Street West, Freemans Bay, Auckland 1011 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities immediately. Nathan Hemi Williams must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $795.86 immediately, being rent arrears and rent in lieu of notice to 16 February 2025.
The landlord took possession of the property following that order and has filed a subsequent claim seeking: a. Costs of rubbish removal of $908.22 b. Cleaning $455.55 c. Rent arrears to 11 March 2025.

How much is owed for rent?

The Tribunal has previously determined the amount of rent arrears owing at the end of the tenancy. The landlord cannot make a further claim for rent arrears as that claim has already been decided by the Tribunal.
The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.

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 did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord conducted an inspection on the 11 March and took photographs of the property. Those photographs were submitted in evidence, and they show a property that is untidy and not reasonably clean. It appears that the tenant has simply taken what he wanted and left everything else behind.
The landlord has had to dispose of the tenant’s belongings. None of the tenant’s belongings appear to be of any value.
I am satisfied that the landlord’s cost for removing the rubbish and cleaning the property were reasonable and award those costs.
The amounts ordered are proved.
