Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing held on 8 May 2026 by video.
- The landlord has applied for compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
- The parties agreed to the landlord’s claim for water rates and carpet cleaning.
- The landlord claimed for paint repairs in relation to a mark on the wall in the lounge, damage on a bedroom door and holes in the lounge and garage ceiling.
- The landlord produced an inspection report showing the damage that is being claimed. The pre tenancy inspection report was also produced.
- After considering the evidence I am satisfied that the damage was caused by the tenant during the tenancy. The amounts claimed are awarded.
- The landlord claimed for lawn mowing. I am not satisfied that the photographs show that lawn mowing was required at the end of the tenancy. At the hearing the landlord withdrew that claim.
- The bond is released to the landlord in respect of the successful claims and the remainder is released to the tenant.
- Because A1 Property Managers Limited As The Agent For Nina Fischer & Hendrik Fuerstenau has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
