Order

The tenancy of Juanita Ringdahl at Room 2, Unit/Flat A, 270 Gloucester Street, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8011 is terminated, and possession is granted to Orbit Property Management Limited as agent for Starting Phases Ltd, immediately.
Juanita Ringdahl must pay Orbit Property Management Limited as agent for Starting Phases Ltd $947.14 immediately from the bond, as calculated below:
The Bond Centre is to pay $974.14 from the bond of $1,560.00 (6533970-001) to Orbit Property Management Limited as agent for Starting Phases Ltd immediately.
The balance of the bond of $585.86 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Ms Croucher represented the landlord. The tenant did not attend the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, part refund of the bond, and the filing fee.

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 12 September 2024 the landlord became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The on-site manager at the premises told Ms Croucher that the tenant’s ex-partner had returned a key and had cleaned out premises. Ms Croucher confirmed that with the tenant’s ex-partner direct.
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 which prove the amount of rent owing today.
If the tenancy is a periodic tenancy as it seems to be (the fixed term ended on 6 August 2024) today is the end of the 28-day rent in lieu of notice period.
As the application is successful, the tenant must pay the landlord’s Tribunal filing fee.
The amount awarded to the landlord will be paid from the bond. The balance of the bond will remain at the Bond Centre.
