Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing.
The tenant was telephoned twice but the call was not connected.
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 2 September 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises.
When the tenant stopped paying rent and did not answer any communications from the landlord, the landlord went to the premises and found that the tenant was not there and that all of her possessions had been removed. The landlord confirmed that she had visited the premises again yesterday and the situation remained the same.
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.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
