Order

Tahrier Sabah Duwaik Dhahi must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2171.43 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

This hearing was conducted by telephone. The landlord attended but the tenant could not be contacted on the phone number provided. The hearing continued in their absence.
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 21 March 2024, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises.
The tenant had stopped paying rent on 5 January 2024 and on 28 February 2024 the landlord was told by their interagency service that the tenant had left New Zealand on 14 December for Sydney, and had not returned.
The landlord gave notice and inspected the premises on 21 March 2024, finding the house in disarray, food dated to December 2023 and long and unkept lawns. They believed that no one was living there.
The landlord went back to the premises at the end of March and confirmed that nothing had changed at the premises over this period.
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 being 21 March 2024. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
