Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not join the video meeting and could not be contacted by telephone.

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 10/8/2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord did an inspection and discovered the tenant had likely vacated, the neighbours confirmed that the tenant had not returned to the property after a Police raid in relation to drugs at the property, which had occurred a week earlier. The landlord said the neighbours have confirmed again subsequently that the tenant has not returned.

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 landlord has applied for the disposal of goods that the tenant left at the premises at the end of the tenancy.

The landlord a. is unable to contact the tenant.

It is not practicable for the landlord to the return the goods to the tenant. Some of the goods may have a value above the cost of storing, transporting and selling them. The landlord must sell these goods at a reasonable market price.

The landlord may deduct any amount owing from the sale proceeds, and must pay the balance to the Bond Centre. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2),(3) and (4), 62C(1)(b),(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).

The landlord may dispose of any goods that have no saleable value.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee and approve the request for name suppression for the landlord.
