Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] will end on Sunday 8 October 2023 and possession is granted to [The landlord/s] at
59pm that day.
Rent will be payable up to and including 8 October 2023 and the tenants will be refunded for any rent paid in advance past that date.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by phone. Mr [property manager] represented the landlord. [Tenant 1] appeared on behalf of his wife, with her authority. Ms [property manager] appeared as a witness by phone.
There was a dispute between the parties as to when the tenancy was to end. There had been email and telephone correspondence between the landlord and tenant. The landlord took the view that the parties had reached agreement and that the tenancy was to end on 28 September 2023. The tenants disagreed and said that they had given notice in writing with a termination date of 9 October 2023.
At the hearing today the parties agreed that a practical and orderly end to the tenancy is required. After some discussion they agreed that the tenancy will end at 11.59pm on Sunday 8 October 2023. The tenants will liaise with the landlord regarding the handover of the key.
I was told that the rent has paid rent in advance past that date and so a refund of rent will be appropriate.
I have not made any orders for handing over the key as the landlord and tenants advised that they will make informal arrangements for handover of the key on Monday morning.
As the parties have reached agreement there is no value in publication of this decision and so I exercise my discretion to order name suppression for both parties together with their identifying details pursuant to Section 95A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
