Order

Khanh huyen Do must pay Grovefield Joal Limited As Agent For Shubing (Mark) Yu $2,423.19 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,000.00 (BN-00134253) to Grovefield Joal Limited As Agent For Shubing (Mark) Yu immediately.

Reasons

The hearing was held on 14 January 2026 by teleconference. The landlord attended. The tenant did not attend. The Tribunal attempted to contact the tenant on the contact numbers provided but was unable to reach them. I was satisfied that the tenant was properly served with notice of the hearing and that it was reasonable to proceed in the tenant’s absence.
The tenancy commenced on 8 September 2025 as a fixed-term tenancy due to end on 13 September 2026. The landlord originally filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy. By the time of the hearing, the tenancy had ended. The landlord now seeks orders for rent arrears, a break lease fee, water charges, cleaning costs, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy. Rent arrears
Under section 40 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, a tenant must pay rent when it falls due. Where a fixed term tenancy ends early, rent is payable until the premises are re-let.
The landlord provided a detailed rent summary showing rent arrears totalling $4,821.43 up to 26 November 2025. The landlord confirmed that the premises were re-let on 27 November 2025.
I am satisfied that the rent arrears claimed are proven. Water charges
Under section 39 of the Act, a tenant may be required to pay water charges where those charges relate to water supplied exclusively to their use of premises.
I am satisfied that the water charges claimed are proven and are recoverable. The claim of $65.80 is allowed. Cleaning
Under section 40(1)(e) of the Act, a tenant must leave the premises in a reasonably clean and tidy condition at the end of the tenancy, removing all rubbish and personal belongings. A landlord seeking compensation must prove that the tenant failed to meet this obligation and that the costs claimed were reasonably incurred.
The landlord claimed $126.50 for cleaning on the basis that the premises were not left in a reasonably clean and tidy condition at the end of the tenancy. The landlord provided an outgoing inspection report, photographs of the condition of the premises, and an invoice for the cleaning undertaken.
The evidence shows that additional cleaning was required beyond what would reasonably be expected at the end of a tenancy. I am satisfied that the cleaning was necessary and that the cost claimed is reasonable. The cleaning claim of $126.50 is allowed. Break Lease Fee
The landlord claimed a break lease fee of $381.46 arising from the tenant’s early termination of the fixed-term tenancy. The landlord provided supporting documentation demonstrating that this fee reflects reasonable re-letting costs incurred as a direct consequence of the tenancy ending early.
I am satisfied that the break lease fee claimed is reasonable, directly attributable to the early termination. The break lease fee of $381.46 is therefore allowed. Filing Fee As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, they are entitled to reimbursement of the filing fee.
