New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4691291 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment through the expedited process under section 91AA Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Are there grounds for an expedited application?

I am satisfied that the two requirements for the expedited process are met: a. The tenant does not want to contest the abandonment application. b. The information provided by the landlord with the application is sufficient to enable the Tribunal to determine it properly without a hearing (either on the basis of that information alone or with only minor clarifications).

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrears 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 18 September 2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord says they visited the premises twice and saw rotten food in the fridge and everything in the same state (photographs provided). Although the photographs provided are limited, they appear to show that all personal belongings have been removed and only old furniture and rotten food has been left behind.

The landlord says they last had contact with the tenant on 30 June 2023 despite multiple emails and phone calls.

The landlord provided rent records which show that rent is in arrears and was last paid on 11 July 2023.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately.

As all the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met, the application is granted.
