85 Park Avenue, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2025 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5230532 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

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 19 March 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord made a number of calls, texts and emails to the tenant, without success. The landlord delivered a notice to remedy rent arrears to the property and saw the tenant’s belongings had been removed. The landlord provided an email from a neighbour confirming he saw the tenant pack up their furniture and belongings and move out around mid-March 2025. The landlord provided photographs of the inside of the property showing a series of empty rooms, with no furniture or personal belongings shown. 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 application by the landlord.

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.
