Order
- The tenancy of Mitchell Tyler Grey at 43 Walters Road, Takanini, Takanini 2112 is terminated, and possession is granted to LBY Management Limited As Agent For Yumei Luo And Shan Yin As Trustees Of The Shan Yin Property Investment Trust, immediately.
Reasons
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment through the expedited process under section 91AA of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
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 of the RTA.) 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 11 March 2026, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. This was the date the landlord inspected the premises and noted that the premises appeared to be abandoned. The landlord has provided photographs of the premises taking during that visit. I consider it is more likely than not that the tenant has abandoned the premises.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at today’s date.
- As the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately.
- All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met.
- If the landlord has further claims against the tenant that they want the Tribunal to deal with, the landlord will need to lodge a further application with the Tribunal.
