If a new tenancy of the premises begins before 26 August 2026, the sum payable under this Order is reduced by the amount of any rent received by the landlord before that date.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by videoconference. The tenant didn’t attend and couldn’t be reached by phone
The landlord applied for termination of the tenancy for rent arrears.
The property manager then became aware, through an e-mail from a friend of the tenant, that he had vacated the premises and moved to Australia. The property manager visited the property the same day and confirmed that he had gone.

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 1 .
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.
Because the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

This was a periodic tenancy.
Where a tenant abandons a periodic tenancy, unless a new tenancy starts before then, they are liable for rent for 21 days from the date the landlord became aware (or should have been aware) that the premises had been abandoned 2 .
That date is 5 August 2026 so the tenant must pay rent to 26 August 2026 unless a new tenancy starts before then.
The landlord has provided rent records proving the amount owing. 1 S 61 RTA 2 S.61(2) and (3) RTA
Because Wendell Property Management Limited as Agent for Jeremy Hungerford-Morgan has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
