New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5356023 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment through the expedited process under section 91AA Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Are there grounds for an expedited application?

I am satisfied that the two requirements for the expedited process are met: a. The tenant does not want to contest the abandonment application. b. The information provided by the landlord with the application is sufficient to enable the Tribunal to determine it properly without a hearing (either on the basis of that information alone or with only minor clarifications).

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrears 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.

This is a fixed term tenancy which was due to commence on 29 September 2025 and run until 28 September 2026.

On 29 September 2025, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord says the tenant has been uncontactable since they signed the tenancy agreement and has not taken any steps to complete their tenancy obligations. They have not paid the bond, have not collected the keys, and despite repeated attempts to reach them via phone and email, they have not responded. The landlord has checked the property and confirms that the tenant has not collected the keys nor moved in any belongings.

The landlord provided rent records which show that rent has not been paid and is therefore in arrears.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately. All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met.
