New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5359688 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The application was decided on the papers.

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?

The two requirements for the expedited process are: 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 the information alone or with only minor clarifications).

If the requirements for the expedited process are met, 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.

I am not satisfied that both conditions for the expedited process are met. 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. Here, the tenant texted the landlord on 19 August 2025 that they had purchased a house and were giving notice to move out, and then emailed the landlord on 12 September 2025 to say they had vacated the property and left the keys in the box. The fact there is a continuing fixed term tenancy means the tenant could be in breach, but that is a different application.

The information provided by the landlord with this application is not sufficient to enable the Tribunal to determine it properly without a hearing.

I have allowed name suppression because the matter has not been finalised.
