Reasons

The landlord attended this remote teleconference hearing.

Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. The calls could not be connected. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am so satisfied.

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

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 9 May 2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. • Breach notices have been sent and not responded to. • Notices placed in the door jamb at the premises remain unmoved. • Letters in the letterbox has built up. • The neighbour said that the tenant hadn’t been at the premises for 6 months. • The power meter has remained almost unchanged during the last few months suggesting that no one has been living at the premises. • Photos provided suggest that no one is living at or caring for the premises.

The rent has been in arrears throughout the period, although it seems that MSD is not aware that the tenant is not living at the premises as rent continues to be paid.

The landlord said that they had been told that the tenant may be in prison but were unable to confirm the position.

As 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 is $3,281.29.
