The tenancy of Lancelot Samuel Lahyani at Unit/Flat Flat 1, 10 Glasgow Street, Queenstown, Queenstown 9300, Ben Lomond Courts is terminated, and possession is granted to Highland Real Estate Group Limited As Agent For Alan Bernard Blyth, at 3pm Thursday 24 October 2024.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing via remote teleconference. Two attempts were made to contact the tenant on the telephone number provided. Both attempts were unsuccessful. The hearing continued in the tenant’s absence.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears 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 1 October 2024 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord carried out an inspection of the premises and discovered that the tenant’s personal belongings had been removed and the key left under the front door mat.

Based on the photographic and oral evidence presented by the landlord I am satisfied that the tenant has abandoned the premises.

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 owing at the end of the tenancy. The landlord provided an updated rent ledger during the hearing which confirms the current rent arrears. Having sighted this evidence I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for this debt.

The claim is proven.

Because Highland Real Estate Group Limited As Agent For Alan Bernard Blyth has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
