Reasons

The landlord attended this remote teleconference hearing.

Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. All calls went to voicemail. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am so satisfied.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment and rent arrears.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.

On 23 June 2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord has visited the premises personally on numerous occasions without finding the tenant present. The landlord visited the property on 26 June, 30 June, 5 July, 7 July, 10 July and 14 July 2023 without finding the tenant. The tenant does not return phone, txt, email messages or notices left in the letter box by the agent. No rent has been paid since 12 June 2023.

The landlord visited the premises on 7 July 2023. The landlord took a number of photos showing the tenants belongings. The landlord said in evidence that in his visits since that date, nothing has been moved.

As the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $4,550.00.
