Reasons

A representative of the landlord attended the hearing.
The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

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 or about 12 April, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The rent had fallen into arrears and landlord was unable to contact the tenant despite numerous attempts. The property was locked up with the gate secured. A friends of the tenant have contacted the tenant to advise that he is incarcerated and unable to return to the premises.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated at 11:59pm on Sunday 3 May 2026.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee and granted its request for suppression of its details.
