Reasons

This application was decided on the papers.

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?

I am satisfied that the two requirements for the expedited process are met: 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 that information alone or with only minor clarifications).

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrears 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 17 December 2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. A property manager went to the house and no one answered the door. I have been provided with photos taken through the windows on 17 December and there is no furniture in the kitchen or living area, and there are no belongings in the garage. I was also provided with photos taken at a recent inspection so I could compare the rooms. It certainly looks like the tenant has moved out. Taken together with the rent arrears and the lack of contact from the tenant, I am persuaded the tenancy has been abandoned.

The landlord provided rent records which show the rent was in arrears at the date the application was filed.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately.

All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met.

The landlord can file another application for rent arrears and any other orders arising from the end of the tenancy.
