Order
- Paito Fisher Paulo and Soata Paulo must pay Let's Rent Limited As Agent For Ridgeview Dreams Ltd $2,472.19 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing via videoconference. The tenant did not.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
- The tenancy ended on 9 February 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- I order the tenant to pay $4,308.57 for rent arrears and $127.62 for water rates arrears to the landlord.
- The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not return one key.
- I order the tenant to pay the landlord $320.00 for exit cleaning and $8.00 for key replacement.
- Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
