New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5382326 — 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.

On 5 November 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord says the tenant was arrested in September and remanded in custody. His bail application was declined on 5 November which means that he is unable to return to the premises. The landlord has been in contact with the tenant’s mother and with his legal team (emails and messages provided).

The landlord provided rent records which show that rent is now 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.

Name suppression is granted for both parties.
