New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5430830 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

This 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.

I am not satisfied that both conditions for the expedited process are met. 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. Here, the tenant emailed the landlord on 13 January 2026, before the landlord filed the application, confirming she had left the property at the start of December 2025 after giving 21 days’ notice. The landlord said there is likely a squatter at the property who moved in after the tenant moved out. The evidence is unclear about this situation. The landlord said they changed the locks at the property on 22 January 2026, which means the landlord has possession of the property. Further, the landlord did not provide a rent summary, nor did they provide an inspection report or any photographs of the condition of the property indicating it was likely abandoned, aside from the tenant notifying them by email that she had already left the property at the start of December 2025.

The information provided by the landlord with this application is not sufficient to enable the Tribunal to determine it properly without a hearing.

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