Order

Vi Panapa must pay Orbit Property Management Limited T/A: Harcourts as Agent for Ruth Johnstone Family Trust $2,652.37 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 14 March 2025 under application 5174313.

Reasons

Only the landlord’s representative attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Previous Order
On 14 March 2025 the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy for rent arrears. That order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes. Tenant’s Obligations
At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish and return all keys and security devices.
The tenant must not carelessly or intentionally damage the 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 four weeks' rent (or four weeks' market rent in the case of a tenant paying income-related rent).
Where the damage is careless and is not covered by the landlord's insurance, the tenant's liability is limited to four weeks' rent (or market 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.
The tenant must not make changes to the premises without the landlord’s consent and must remove and made good any changes at the end of the tenancy. Claims
The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and did not remove all rubbish. I have awarded the costs of cleaning and rubbish removal as claimed.
The tenant did not return all the keys and so I have awarded the cost of changing the locks as claimed.
There was damage to walls of the premises. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
Most of the damage was intentional including putting fixings into walls. Insurance is not a consideration.
I have awarded the cost of repairing the damage and painting as claimed.
The tenant erected or allowed to be erected a structure at the premises without the landlord’s consent and she did not remove it before the end of the tenancy. I have therefore awarded the costs associated with removing it.
The sums awarded were proved by the production of photographs and invoices.
The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee.
