Reasons

The landlord attended this video hearing.

The tenant did not attend the hearing by teams video link. Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. The 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 satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given.

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 26 September 2024 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. A resident of the premises contacted the landlord to say that they had left the premises. The landlord conducted an inspection of the premises on 1 October 2024. All of the tenant belongings had been removed.

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

The tenancy agreement makes it clear that the tenancy was in the name of Jiao Guan and not in the name of any company that he may have been a director of.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $3,237.14. The tenancy was a fixed term tenancy and the arrears include rent to the date of termination.

The landlord applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful and suppression of the landlord name and detail is ordered.
