Reasons

The hearing was conducted remotely on Microsoft Teams.
Susan Rea attended for the landlord by video.
The tenant did not attend. The hearing proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for cleaning, rubbish removal, and repair costs following on from the end of the tenancy.

Is the tenant liable to the landlord for costs incurred after the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish. 1
The landlord provided final inspection photographs taken after the tenant moved out that show that the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and did not remove all rubbish.
The expense Kāinga Ora incurred to clean the premises and remove the rubbish is commensurate to the lack of cleanliness and the amount of rubbish left behind.
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant liable for damage to the premises?

The photographs show a broken and dented section of gib board in one of the premises’ bedrooms.
I am satisfied that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. The tenant has not proven that they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. 2
The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The cost to the landlord to repair the wall is proven and the amount charged is in keeping with the damage.
The amount ordered is proved. Other
Ms Rea advises that the tenant is paying off the costs ordered at the rate of $20.00 per week. The tenant should continue to do so. The landlord is at liberty to enforce this order if required. Presumably, the landlord will not do so if the tenant continues her instalment payments, however.
