Filing Fee Rent arrears Carpet Cleaning

Order

Emillee Campbell must pay Rentcare Property Management Limited $31.29 immediately, calculated as shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears and rent in lieu of notice to 12 September 2025 $1,924.29 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$1,951.29 Bond$1,920.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$31.29
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,920.00 (3058286-006) to Rentcare Property Management Limited immediately.
The landlord’s application for painting of a bathroom ceiling was withdrawn at the hearing.
The landlord’s application for carpet cleaning is dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by video.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
A claim for repainting of the bathroom ceiling was withdrawn at the hearing. That was an appropriate decision, having regard to the condition of these premises at the start and during the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy was for a fixed term to 13 August 2024. Neither party gave notice to end or renew the tenancy, so it became periodic from 14 August 2024. This was the tenant’s first time renting and she was not aware of the requirement to give notice. She moved out at the end of the fixed term without communication with the landlord. The landlord did not enquire about the tenant’s intentions at the end of the term or seek a further fixed term.
The landlord became aware that the tenant had moved on 15 August and accepted 28-day notice period starting from that date. The landlord carried out an exit inspection on 18 August and had painters attend the property in the period between 18 August and 12 September. The property was not re-let until November 2023.
I find that the landlord was entitled to rent through the notice period; to 12 September 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The tenant had acknowledged that the landlord could keep the bond to cover the rent in lieu of notice.

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 landlord claims that the carpets had to be cleaned at the end of the tenancy. There was staining evident on the ingoing photographs. Having regard to the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy, I am not persuaded that carpet was any worse at the end of this tenancy. The claim for carpet cleaning is dismissed.
As the landlord was partially successful, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee. I have not granted the landlord’s request for suppression of its details, having regard to the relative degree of success of the parties and the tenant’s acknowledgement, in August 2024, that the bond could be kept in lieu of notice.
