Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 6A Tarewa Place, Rotorua, Rotorua 3010 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The tenant/s] landlord/s], immediately.

The landlord is to pay part of the bond of $0.00 immediately, to be held until further claims are filed.

Reasons

Only the applicant landlords attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

The tenant paid four weeks rent as bond and four weeks rent in advance at the commencement of the tenancy (in cash) and then paid a further 4 weeks rent.

The Police advised the landlords on 28 July that a cannabis growing operation had been established and the tenant appeared to have abandoned the property.

The landlords advised that the whereabouts of the tenant remain unknown as the Police have not apprehended him at this point.

The landlord has retained the tenants bond money (of $$2,480) but undertook to send the part of it owing to the tenant (once rent has been calculated to 18/8/2026 as per the table) to the bond centre, where it will be held until further claims for compensation for the considerable damage that has occurred at the property are filed. A claim for exemplary damages is also likely to be made.

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 28 July 2026 the landlord became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises, when the Police contacted them to advise that a cannabis growing operation was occurring at the premises and the tenants had caused damage and appeared to have 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 [The tenant/s] applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee and approve the landlord’s request for name suppression.
