Order

The tenancy of Nadeesha Prabath Kumara Dodanwala Dodanwala at 801 Sandringham Road Extension, Wesley, Auckland 1041 is terminated, and possession is granted to Soho Property Management Limited As Agent For Sandringham Development Limited, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,060.00 (5654964-004) to Soho Property Management Limited As Agent For Sandringham Development Limited immediately.
Nadeesha Prabath Kumara Dodanwala Dodanwala must pay Soho Property Management Limited As Agent For Sandringham Development Limited $7,752.71 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
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 4/4/2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The rent was significantly in arrears and the landlord attended the premises to do an inspection. The tenant’s flatmates who continue to reside there, have provided oral and written confirmation that he had returned to Sri Lanka and was not returning.
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 rent arrears amount ordered includes 21 days rent in lieu of notice.
Because Soho Property Management Limited As Agent For Sandringham Development Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
