The tenant did not attend the hearing by the video link provided. One call to her mobile number during the hearing was answered and then terminated, a second call went straight to voicemail.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord alos applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment. 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.
The landlord did not provide sufficient evidence of abandonment. There were some photographs of the premises, but they did not prove the tenant had left the property. A text message from a family member was ambiguous about where the tenant was an when she will return.
The landlord did not prove abandonment but is entitled to termination of the tenancy for rent arrears, as above.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have granted its application for suppression and awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
