Order

Tai Andre Pucci and Elissa Jade Blong to pay Plan Investments Limited $488.00 from the bond, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,560.00 (5495815-018) immediately apportioned as follows: Plan Investments Limited: $488.00 Tai Andre Pucci and Elissa Jade Blong: $1,072.00

Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing.
Neither tenant attended the video hearing or joined it by telephone in accordance with the instructions in the Notice of Hearing. The tenants were each telephoned but neither answered and so messages were left.
The landlord has applied for compensation, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

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. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided photographic evidence that the stove had not been cleaned and there were some other small areas that required cleaning. The amount awarded is commensurate with invoices which the Tribunal regularly sees for cleaning an oven.
The landlord provided photographic evidence that there was some staining to the carpet that required cleaning. The landlord gave evidence that there was a cat inside the premises and he provided photographic evidence of cat hair in the carpet. The Tribunal is persuaded on the balance of probabilities on the evidence before it that the carpet required cleaning and that it was prudent to have the carpets treated for fleas. The amounts awarded are in accordance with invoices that the Tribunal regularly sees for such attendances.
The landlord had claimed for replacement recycling and rubbish bins but could not provide receipts and confirmed that this had not yet been done. The landlord has failed to prove its loss and so its claims for these items are dismissed.
Because Plan Investments Limited has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
