Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any prior contact with the Registry. A call to the tenant was attempted but unsuccessful. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the call went unanswered.

The landlord has been unable to contact the tenant on the same number when attempted.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. An initial application for expedited abandonment on the papers was declined and the matter adjourned for a hearing. The evidence of no rent paid since September 2025 was update with a current rent summary. The photos are inconclusive regarding abandonment. The tenant has not been seen by neighbours since and he had previously indicated an intention to leave to look after a family member. I do not find abandonment can be determined but the tenancy should be terminated as indicated in the notice of hearing on the basis of significant, and growing, rent arrears.

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Filing fee

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.

The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
