New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5421205 — Rent arrears

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5421205 about?

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

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

The tenancy of Nguyen Van Hung, Bui Thi Huong, Do Tring Dung and Tran Thi Ngoc at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

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?

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 4 December 2025, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord said they received a call from a neighbour about police cars outside the property and an open garage door. The landlord said they were subsequently advised by the police that there had been a cannabis growing operation at the property. The landlord provided photographs of the condition of the property, which showed bags of soil, many rubbish bags, sheets on the floors, wires hanging from the ceilings and coming out of one of the walls, items in the bath and dirt in the bath, and a property mostly empty of proper furniture for daily living. I am persuaded by this evidence that the tenancy has been abandoned.

The tenants have not contested the application.

The landlord provided rent records which show there were rent arrears at the date of filing 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. Suppression

The landlord requested name suppression and is entitled to this as they have been successful with the claim. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
