Are there grounds for an expedited application?

Order

The application for termination under the expedited abandonment process is dismissed.

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?

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 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.
The landlord says the tenant had an eviction date of 12 June 2026, and they believe the tenant vacated on 15 June 20206. The landlord has been unable to make contact with the tenant.
It appears that the landlord is making an application for termination of this tenancy but it has already been terminated by previous order of the Tribunal dated 4 June 2026. The tenancy was terminated as rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, and possession granted at
59pm on Wednesday 12 June 2026.
A tenancy cannot be abandoned if it has already been terminated.
In these circumstances, this application is moot and must be dismissed.
