Reasons

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 13 June 2024, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord stated that they had tried to contact the tenant with no response about rent arrears. An inspection was held after a 48-hour notice was issued. A copy of the notice and date of the inspection was not provided.

Photographs from the inspection show that the house is completely empty, and, in the garage, there remains a pile of belongings.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at today’s date.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately. I am recording the date of abandonment as the date the landlord filed the application, 13 June 2024, as there was not enough evidence provided establishing any other date.

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