Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at Unit/Flat Apartment 808, 8 Airedale Street, Auckland Central, Auckland 1010, Queen's Residences is terminated, and possession is granted to Auckland City-Living Management Limited As Agent For Jordan Liau, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,600.00 (BN-32614988) to Auckland City-Living Management Limited As Agent For Jordan Liau immediately.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Auckland City-Living Management Limited As Agent For Jordan Liau $1,979.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$4,550.00 Filing fee reimbursement$29.00 Total award$4,579.00 Bond$2,600.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$1,979.00

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing.
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 20 August 2026 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises when the tenant advised the landlord that her visa had not been renewed and so she was returning home. The landlord completed an inspection of the premises which was submitted in evidence. The report is evidence that it appears the tenant has taken what she wanted and left anything else behind with no attempt having been made to clean. This was a fixed term tenancy and so the tenant was not able to terminate the tenancy by giving notice. The Tribunal is satisfied that it is more likely than not that the tenant has abandoned the premises.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

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.
Because Auckland City-Living Management Limited As Agent For Jordan Liau has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
