New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5373831 — Rent arrears

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5373831 about?

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details and the tenancy address.

The application for termination under the expedited abandonment process is not granted.

The application is referred to Tenancy Services for a full hearing to be scheduled.

This application is to be joined with application 5361120 and heard together with it on 20 November 2025.

Reasons

This 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, there were originally two tenants. One tenant completed a Notice to Withdraw from the tenancy. The landlord said the remaining tenant, against whom this application is made, is currently in prison. From the little information provided in the application, it appears the landlord has been dealing with the tenant’s lawyer, the Family Violence Team and others, and has obviously been notified that the tenant is in prison.

I note further that the landlord made an earlier application 5361120 on 7 October 2025 for termination of the tenancy on grounds of abandonment, for rent arrears and refund of the bond. On 22 October 2025 notices of hearing were sent out to the parties indicating a hearing would be on 20 November 2025 in application 5361120. On 23 October 2025, the landlord filed this application pursuant to the expedited abandonment process seeking possession of the property sooner than the hearing on 20 November 2025 would offer them.

This application is to be joined with application 5361120 and heard together with it on 20 November 2025.

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.
