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 [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

This matter is determined as indicated by the orders above, but the landlord is granted a period of three months within which, they can request that the application be brought back before to the Tribunal with evidence in respect of orders for the disposal of abandoned goods and the matter will be re-opened.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The landlord was represented, having obtained prior approval from the Tribunal.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment.

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 17 August 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. On the date the landlord received confirmation from the police that the police had executed a search warrant at the premises on 11 August 2025. The police report provided indicated that the police were required to force entry to the premises. Upon entry the police located 160 cannabis plants and associated growing equipment including lights, pots, hydroponic pipes, carbon philtres and associated ducting. Photos provided show that the tenants were not living at the premises. The police report indicates that it is unlikely that the tenants will be charged or found.

As the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately. The landlord has made a pragmatic decision not to pursue the tenants for rent arrears. Rent has not been paid since 20 August 2025.

I have left the file “closed until”. This means that the landlord can lodge further orders for the disposal of tenant goods without the requirement to file a further application and pay a filing fee. This remains open for three months from the date of this order.

The landlord applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter. Suppression of the landlord’s name and details is ordered.
