Juanita Akiwa Vesey Johns must pay [The landlord/s] $550.44 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone. A call was made to the tenant’s phone for the hearing, but the call went unanswered. The hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

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 20 December 2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The tenant had been absent from the tenancy for some time. On 20 December 2023 the tenant sent an email to the landlord and the email indicates that the tenant did not wish to continue with the tenancy. She did not communicate further past that date other than to advise in early January 2024 that she was trying to arrange for her belongings to be collected from the tenancy.
Because 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. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed.
