The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,920.00 (6538448-001) to Ezystayz Limited as Agent for Lyn Jin immediately.

Reasons

This was a rehearing of the Tribunal’s Order dated 17 March 2026. The landlord attended by videoconference. The tenants didn’t attend and couldn’t be reached by phone.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 10 January 2026 after the tenants gave Notice of Termination. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at 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, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. 1
The landlord claims compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal costs. The evidence provided does not prove that the premises weren’t left reasonably clean and tidy. Those claims are declined.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. 2
The tenants damaged a bedroom door during the tenancy. They replaced it with a new one, but it still needed to be painted and have handles fitted.
The landlord has provided evidence proving that at the end of the tenancy the following items needed to be replaced, other than through fair wear and tear: a. an aluminium door lock; b. a curtain rail c. a door stop d. oven trays e. wardrobe hanging rail.
Repairs were needed o some wall holes and the toilet.
The loss caused to the landlord from paying for that work is proved by the invoice provided. The landlord should be compensated for that loss. 1 S.40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) RTA 2 S.40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.
Because Ezystayz Limited as Agent for Lyn Jin has succeeded with the claim I reimburse the filing fee.
