Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Thao Vo at 7 Woodhall Road, Epsom, Auckland 1023 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,400.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Thao Vo must pay [The landlord/s] $17,148.43 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by video. An attempt was made to join the tenant to the hearing by telephone, but the call went to voicemail.
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 18 February 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord was carrying out an inspection at a neighbouring property and noticed that the back door of the premises had been left open. When they went to knock on the door they discovered signs that the tenancy had been abandoned.
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. As this is a fixed tenancy the tenant is liable to pay rent up to and including the date of the expiry of the term.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed as sought.
