Order

The tenancy of Patrick Wainohu at Unit/Flat Flat 13, 80 Primrose Street, Frankton, Hamilton 3204 is terminated, and possession is granted to Ktw Limited T/A Property Scouts Hamilton As Agent For John May As Trustee Of The Trudy May Family Trust, immediately.
The tenant is to pay the landlord $28.00 immediately, being the application fee.

Reasons

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment through the expedited process under section 91AA of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
This Order has been made on the papers in accordance with section 91AA of the RTA.

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; and 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 of the RTA.) A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations.
On 11 February 2026, the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. This was the date that the landlord visited the premises. The landlord has provided photographs of that visit which show that it is more likely than not that the premises have been abandoned.
The landlord has also provided rent records which show that the tenant is in rent arrears.
As the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, I am terminating the tenancy immediately.
All the requirements for an expedited abandonment application have been met. If the landlord has other claims relating to this tenancy, the landlord should lodge a new application with the Tribunal. Filing fee:
The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim. For this reason, I must order reimbursement of the filing fee.
