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.

- Neighbours have said they have not seen the tenant for a long time.
- On 15 November 2025, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises.
- Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, the tenancy is terminated immediately.
How much does the tenant owe?
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
- Because Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agents For Anyos Gonczy (Inspire Holdings Limited) has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
