Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing which took place by videoconference.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment and rent arrears.

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 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 14 April 2026 the Tribunal declined to grant a termination under the expedited abandonment process and placed the application on notice.

The Adjudicator stated at paragraph 5 of the order dated 14 April 2026: “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 landlord said the tenants gave the landlord 21 days’ notice on 7 March 2026 to leave the tenancy on 28 March 2026. Whilst the landlord said there were issues after the tenants left the property, those are separate applications.”

On 7 March 2026 the tenants gave written notice to terminate the tenancy on 28 March 2026. A copy of the notice was provided in evidence and the contents are copied below: “Hi [Landlord], In case the tribunal on Thursday does not grant your termination of tenancy. As tenants of [Tenancy address suppressed] We are giving you our 21 days to end the tenancy from today 07/03/2026. Date of vacation will be 28 th march 2026. Property will be clean and tidy as per tenancy law Thanks [The tenant/s]”

I find that the application for termination for abandonment is not proved on the balance of probabilities because the tenants notified the landlord of their intention to leave the premises by giving 21 days’ notice to terminate the tenancy.

There is no evidence that the notice to terminate was revoked, therefore, the tenancy has ended.

The current application before me is dismissed.

The landlord has already filed an application for rent arrears which is being considered along with other claims and cross claims under case numbers 5438925 and 5462069 scheduled for hearing on 15 June 2026.

The Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details as there are other ongoing proceedings between the parties at this time.
