Reasons

The landlord’s agent, Ms Ramage, attended the hearing via video.
The tenant, Mr. Blake, did not attend the hearing. I called the cell number listed on the landlord’s application form, but without success.
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 19 March 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises.
I asked Ms. Ramage why she believed Mr. Blake abandoned the property. Ms Ramage in her evidence said after mediation, Mr. Blake ceased all contact with her. She visited the property on 19 March 2025 and discovered it had been emptied of all belongings belonging to Mr. Blake.
Ms Ramage also said Mr Blake had left the key on the kitchen bench, a strong indicator of voluntary departure without intent to return.
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. Filing fee
Because Goodwin Realty Limited, As Agents For Mr & Mrs J Green C/- Mark Markovina, has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.
