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

The tenancy of Hayley Christensen at Unit/Flat Flat 5, 17 Albert Street, Palmerston North, Palmerston North 4414 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

Hayley Christensen must pay [the landlord] the amount of $28.00 being the application filing fee, immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing via remote teleconference. There was no attendance by the tenant.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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.

On 21 March 2026 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises when the landlord observed the tenant moving her belongings from the premises. The landlord was also advised by other tenants on 23 March 2026 that the tenant has not returned to the premises.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the rent arrears outstanding.

The landlord will file a fresh application in respect of outstanding rent arrears, cleaning and lock changing.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.

The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
