Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing which was held by video conference.

The tenant did not join the conference and so I placed two calls to the tenant on the mobile phone number provided. Both calls went to voicemail. I am satisfied that the tenant has been served with the landlord’s application in accordance with the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) and so the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. Background

This tenancy began on 18 April 2025 and was for a fixed term of one year.

The landlord said that they received correspondence from the tenant on 15 December 2025 stating that they were moving out and the last day of their tenancy would be 12 January 2026.

The landlord responded to notify the tenant that they could not give notice as this was a fixed term tenancy but they could apply to be released from the fixed term tenancy early.

The landlord has not heard from the tenant since despite multiple phone calls, texts and emails. The tenant’s belongings, including furniture, bed and motorbike are still in the house. The bed appears to be made up. There are bags of rubbish in the garage.

The landlord conducted an inspection on 13 January 2026. The tenant was not present. The landlord produced a copy of the inspection report showing the tenant’s belongings as described above.

The landlord went to the property this morning. The tenant was not present and the tenant’s belongings are still in place. The neighbours have not seen them.

The tenant has not paid rent since 3 December 2025.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy on the basis that rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. See section 55(1)(a) RTA.

This application was filed on 9 January 2026. The landlord provided a rent summary proving that rent was in arrears by 30 days at the date of the application. The rent owing to end of day yesterday, 29 January 2026 is $3,190.

The tenancy is terminated immediately. The landlord is entitled to rent arrears to end of day yesterday, 29 January 2026, in the amount of $3,190. Next steps

The landlord will need to take care to ensure that they deal with the tenant’s possessions in accordance with the provisions of the RTA. Up to date information is available on the Tenancy Services website. Filing fee and name suppression

Because [the landlord] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

The landlord has applied for an order for name suppression and is entitled to an order as the successful party (see section 95A RTA).
