Order

Camila Spalletti must pay Tommy's Property Management Limited $1,690.29 immediately as set out in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,340.00 (6307938-015) to Tommy's Property Management Limited immediately.

The claim for cleaning is dismissed.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was conducted by video conference. The tenant did not seek to be admitted to the hearing at the scheduled time. Because the tenant has been served notice of the hearing to her email address which is an address for service on the tenancy agreement, I am satisfied the service requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986, (the “RTA”) have been satisfied, and the hearing was conducted in her absence.
The tenant signed a one-year fixed-term tenancy agreement to end on 17 January 2026. On 17 November 2025 the tenant signed a change of tenant form releasing the other person from the tenancy. The tenant was then the only remaining tenant in the tenancy.
The tenant negotiated early release from the tenancy with the landlord. The date agreed on was 15 December 2025.
The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing for rent arrears at the end of the tenancy was $3,864.29.

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 said the tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy. The landlord provided photographs which show the premises to not be left perfectly clean, including a small stain on the carpet.
When I consider the photographs of the premises in their entirety, I determine the premises have been left reasonably clean and tidy. That is to say that in between tenancies, a good landlord is likely to give a premises a deep clean, but this is not the standard required of an outgoing tenant.
The claim for cleaning is not proved.
The landlord said the tenant did not return keys one key and two swipe cards.
This claim and the amount ordered are proved.
Because Tommy's Property Management Limited has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
