Reasons

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond. She has filed a separate claim for other damages.

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 29 May 2025, the tenant told the landlord he had no choice but to move out of the property.
On 1 June 2025 the landlord attended a regular inspection of the property and notice that all of the tenants belonging from inside the property were gone. The landlord then became aware the premises had been abandoned.
The tenant ceased making any rent payments from 14 May.
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. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice. The bond should be paid to the landlord.
Because [the landlord] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. I also award her name suppression as she has been successful.
