The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, water rates, 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 10 April 2024, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord visited the premises for an inspection and found the tenant had moved out and another person had moved in. The landlord was also notified by MSD of an alleged fraudulent tenancy agreement. This person moved out after one week and the premises were empty until a new tenancy started on 26 April.
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 and water invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice to 25 April.
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
