Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
Florence Efia Atta owes [the Landlord] $1,520.44 (“the debt”) calculated as set out in the table below.
Florence Efia Atta must pay the full debt to the Landlord by 23 May 2024.
If the tenant fails to pay the debt within 2 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the Landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay rent in full and on time on a regular basis since 3 January 2024. The landlord has served ten 14-day notice on the tenant between 3 January 2024 and 5 April 2024, but the breaches were not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the landlord has no certainty that the recidivist rent breaches will not continue.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Reimbursement of the filing fee
Because [the applicant] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
