Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord name and identifying details.

The tenancy of Michael John Reginald Wells at Room 4, 5 Jollie Street, Linwood, Christchurch 8062 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing via remote video conference. There was no attendance by the tenant at the scheduled hearing time.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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. 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 24 November 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord was informed by other tenants that the tenant was moving belongings from his room. The landlord attended on 24 November and could see that his room was empty. The tenant had clearly abandoned the premises.

The landlord does not seek an order for payment of the rent arrears.

The landlord does not seek reimbursement of the filing fee.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.

The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
