Order

Riki Johnson Werahiko must pay Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agent For Yuyang Wang / BNT Company Ltd $2210.35 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,400.00 (BN-00144122) to Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agent For Yuyang Wang / BNT Company Ltd immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing.
This was a continuation hearing after the tenancy ended before the last scheduled hearing and an adjournment request to allow variation for vacated issues from the landlord was granted.
The variations seeking compensation were detailed and served.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 15 November 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is as ordered.
For reasons unknown to the landlord, the tenant has been paying $0.10 per week since the tenancy ended. That has very slightly reduced the rent arrears.

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 the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish. The carpet required cleaning.
Invoices for cleaning ($300.00), carpet cleaning ($140.00), and rubbish removal ($336.00) were provided to establish costs incurred as evidenced in a series of photos from the exit inspection. The costs are modest when compared to the condition as shown in the exit photos. The landlord explained the neighbours helpfully assisted, reducing the final costs. All three invoices are awarded in full.
The tenant did not return the keys. A locksmith invoice for $185.75 was provided. This is awarded.
The amounts ordered are proved. Filing fee
Because Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agent For Yuyang Wang / BNT Company Ltd has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
