Reasons

This application was decided on the papers.

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 11 November 2024, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord said they made numerous attempts to contact the tenant, to have her meet or talk with them, without response. They said they visited the property several times, but nobody was home. The landlord issued a 48-hour notice of intended entry on 18 November 2024 and visited the property on 21 November 2024, using a locksmith to gain access. The landlord provided an Outgoing Inspection Report dated 21 November 2024 about the condition of the property, with photographs. The photographs showed each room in detail, that all rooms at the property were mostly empty, apart from some rubbish and low value items. The photographs showed an overgrown lawn, and the landlord said the carpet was covered with fleas. There was a photograph of flyers piled up in the letterbox at the property. I am persuaded by this evidence that the tenancy has been abandoned.

The landlord provided rent records which show there were rent arrears at the date of filing the application.

The tenant has not contested the claim.

All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met. Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately.
