Carpet Cleaning Cleanliness Filing Fee Rubbish Removal Property damage

Order

Alicia McCarthy must pay Pure Property Management NZ Ltd and Oaklane Dairies Limited $2,055.24 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 5 November 2025 under application 5343701.
The claim for cost to repair a broken window is dismissed.

Reasons

Ms Loader attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenant was phoned on the number provided in the tenancy agreement but the call went to voicemail.
The landlord has applied for compensation 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?

The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and did not remove all rubbish as required by section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).
The amounts ordered are proved.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the premises?

To be successful in a claim for damage to the premises, the landlord must prove that damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they, or others at the premises with their permission, did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage: sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B of the Act.
The following damage was caused during the tenancy: holes in the walls of the kitchen and small bedroom; and holes in the bathroom and bedroom doors. The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenant has not disproved liability for the damage.
The amounts ordered are proved.
The claim to repair the glass in the ranch slider door in the garage at the premises is dismissed. There is evidence (copies of text messages from the tenant to the landlord) that establishes that in December 2023 the glass was broken by a person whom the tenant had dated when he broke into the premises and assaulted the tenant. Ms Loader did not dispute that this event occurred and there is no evidence to support that the tenant had permitted the person to be at the premises at that time. Thus, the damage was not caused carelessly or intentionally by the tenant or any other person at the premises with her permission. The tenant has therefore disproved liability for the damage. Tribunal application fee and previous order
The landlord has been mostly successful in its claims, and I consider this an appropriate case to award the landlord payment of the Tribunal application fee.
On 5 November 2025, the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy, for rent arrears and the Tribunal application fee. The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.
