Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Yi Zhou, Yuxi Meng, Jason Fan Zhai and Sizhe Wu at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $4,000.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Yi Zhou, Yuxi Meng, Jason Fan Zhai and Sizhe Wu must pay [The landlord/s] $2,028.00 immediately, calculated below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by videoconference. The tenants did not attend and couldn’t be contacted on the numbers given in the Notice of Hearing, which was properly served.
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 15 September 2025 the landlord became aware that the tenants had abandoned the premises. He went to the premises to do an inspection, after giving due notice, and found that the tenants had vacated.
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.
This is a fixed term tenancy with the fixed term ending on 13 December 2025 so this Order is without prejudice to claims for ongoing rent losses.
Because [The applicant/s] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
