New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5436814 — 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. 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 landlord said they went to the property to conduct a routine inspection on 30 January 2026 and found the power disconnected and the place in darkness. The landlord said they have not had any response from the tenant since 20 January 2026. However, the landlord did not provide much additional supporting evidence, such as an inspection report or photographs of the condition of the property that might indicate the property has been abandoned. Further, the rent summary provided by the landlord is incomplete as it does not contain full details of rent periods nor does it include a cumulative arrears column, amongst other issues. 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.
