Should the tenancy be terminated?

Further, the tenant has not paid rent since he left the premises in or around January 2024. Rent is now 31 weeks in arrears.

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
