Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The Landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant has repaid the debt as of 26 March 2024 to avoid immediate termination.
The Landlord sought termination despite the rent arrears being repaid. This is due to a history of arrears which have occurred periodically over the last 12 months or so. The Tenant explained that she had some difficult times financially in the last year, as a student and as the sole parent for her daughter. However, she says that she has always done her best to communicate with the Landlord when rent payments were missed and had made repayment arrangements which she complied with. The rent summary supports both the Tenant’s and Landlord’s views on this. The Tenant advised that she now has a job and believes that she will be able to make rent payments on time in the future.
Both parties agreed that I should make a conditional order about future rent payment.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
I am satisfied the tenant will continue pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted a conditional termination order.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
