Order

The tenancy of Maria Tangiiti at Unit/Flat 1, 509 Madras Street, St Albans, Christchurch 8014 is terminated, and possession is granted to Simpson Project Holdings Limited, immediately.
Maria Tangiiti must pay Simpson Project Holdings Limited $311.65 immediately, from the bond, as calculated below:
The Bond Centre is to pay $311.65 from the bond of $2,320.00 (3363898-011) to Simpson Project Holdings Limited immediately.
The balance of the bond of $2,008.35 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Ms Tawhara and Mr Simpson appeared for the landlord. The tenant did not attend the hearing.
The landlord applied to terminate the tenancy for various alleged breaches by the tenant including rent arrears.
The Tribunal first considered the application on 6 May 2024. It made an order for the landlord to carry out an inspection on 14 May 2024.
The landlord’s representative gave evidence that when the inspection took place, they believed the tenant has abandoned the tenancy. The power has been disconnected, the door was unlocked, 3 beds and a couch have been removed, and they found budget notes that referred to the hiring of a moving truck and the payment of a new bond.
I have therefore amended the application to include an application for termination of the tenancy for abandonment.

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.
Because the premises have probably 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 of rent owing as of today. The tenant is liable for 28 days’ rent in lieu of notice from the date the premises were discovered abandoned (14 May 2024). Rent is therefore owed up until tomorrow.
As Work & Income has continued to pay the rent, the landlord has received the rent in lieu of notice owed to it.
The Bond Centre is to pay $311.65 from the bond of $2,320.00 (3363898-011) to Simpson Project Holdings Limited immediately.
The balance of the bond of $2,008.35 is to remain at the Bond Centre.
The amount ordered includes reimbursement of the landlord’s Tribunal filing fee.

What now?

The landlord will probably have a claim for vacated costs, such as cleaning and the changing of locks. Any application should be made within 2 months of today’s date to avoid service issues.
