Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing.

Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. All calls went to voicemail. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice has been given. I am satisfied that notice has been given.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination. The landlord said that he had spoken to the tenant recently and the tenant indicated that the weekly payment of $760.00, which the tenant has been paying, is something that the tenant could afford to continue until the debt was paid off.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where the tenant has continually been in arrears and has been served with recidivist rent arrears notices. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The landlord consented to the order being made.

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.
