New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5505802 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The 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 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.

I am not satisfied that both conditions for the expedited process are met. Whilst the landlord provided photographs of the property showing some empty rooms and rubbish left, and a call log, the rent summary provided by the landlord was incomplete, as it did not contain any information about rent periods, rent due, rent paid, dates rent was paid or a cumulative arrears balance column. The rent summary provided also only contained information for 2026 whereas the tenancy began on 23 August 2025. As such, the landlord has not provided sufficient evidence to show there was rent arrears owing. Further, the tenancy agreement only has one party’s name as landlord, whereas two parties are named as landlord in the application.

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.
