New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5420670 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The 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. 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.

I am not satisfied that both conditions for the expedited process are met. The information provided by the landlord with this application is not sufficient to enable the Tribunal to determine it properly without a hearing. The landlord emailed the tenant on 14 November 2025 to say he was terminating the tenancy as of 16 January 2026 as he was moving into the property. The tenant responded on 14 November 2025 saying that was fine and that all should be sorted on the tenant’s side by then. The landlord said there was no further correspondence from the tenant after this. The landlord inspected the property on 24 December 2025 and said there was no furniture and food but mainly rubbish. The landlord provided photographs but unfortunately the quality of the photographs was unclear and contained mainly close ups of wood items that did not provide a clear picture of the condition of the inside of the property. Further, the rent summary provided by the landlord was incomplete, as no information about rent periods, amounts due or dates rent was paid was included.

I have allowed name suppression because the matter has not been finalised.
