11C Onslow Road, Papakura 2110 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5507163 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

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?

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 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 5 May 2026, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord inspected the premises and found it abandoned, with rubbish and some belongings (mostly clothing) strewn around (photographs provided). The wardrobe in the bedroom is empty and locks and windows are broken. The landlord tried to contact the tenant but their phone numbers are not working and there was no reply to emails. A neighbour advised that no-one has been seen at the premises for more than a month.

The landlord provided rent records which show that rent is in arrears and was last paid on 31 March 2026.

Because 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.
