Order

Kevin Peterson must pay Bartley Real Estate Limited As Agent For Peter Wing Shun Lee $2,625.20 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,480.00 (BN-17049095) to Bartley Real Estate Limited As Agent For Peter Wing Shun Lee immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing represented by Ms Hodge and Ms Kubunavanua. There was no appearance for the tenant.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy on 16 December 2025.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 16 December 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy was $3,230.00.

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 and remove all rubbish. See section 40(1)(e) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The photographs produced by the landlord show that although some cleaning had been done, the kitchen and bathroom required further cleaning. The landlord submitted an invoice for $278.75 for cleaning.
The tenant left some items in the house. The landlord submitted an invoice for $167.21 for removal of some furniture inside the house and garage and dumping fees.
Outside, the lawns were overgrown and some pallets had been left outside. The landlord submitted an invoice for $230 for mowing the lawns and removal and dumping of the pallets.
The tenant had also removed a door from its hinges, taken the rangehood cover down, and a number of lightbulbs needed to be replaced. I am satisfied that this is more than fair wear and tear. The landlord submitted an invoice for $171.24 for replacing the lightbulbs and screws, rehanging the door and also for putting the rangehood cover back on.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because Bartley Real Estate Limited As Agent For Peter Wing Shun Lee has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
