Unit/Flat Unit 1103, 17 Putney Way, Manukau, Auckland Tenancy Tribunal Case 5400171 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

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?

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 26 November 2025, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord went to the property to do a routine inspection and found that the tenant’s had left the property. The landlord said the tenant’s belongings had all gone, the keys were left on the table and the property was empty. The landlord provided photographs of the interior of the property, which showed the property mostly empty, apart from some beds and basic furniture. No belongings were shown in the photographs. The landlord said they had made numerous attempts to contact the tenants, without any response.

The landlord provided rent records which show that technically rent was in arrears at the date the application was filed, though in a small amount. The landlord noted that WINZ continued to pay the rent, however.

The tenants have not contested the application.

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