New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4813617 — Rent arrears

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 9 February 2024 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. A neighbour contacted the landlord to say it looked as though the tenant had moved out and left the back door open. The landlord went to the premises and found the door open with the air conditioning on, and all of the tenant’s belongings had gone (photos provided.) The landlord has made multiple attempts to contact the tenant without success.

The landlord provided rent records which show that rent was last paid on 31 January 2024 and is currently in arrears.

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

All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met. The hearing is adjourned for the landlord to file an amended claim on the attached form, within two months of this order, for rent arrears and any other orders arising from the end of the tenancy.
