Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the both the landlord and tenant names and identifying details.
By consent of the parties, the tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59 pm on 9 July 2025, or at an earlier date if earlier notice is given by the tenant.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
This is a fixed term tenancy what would otherwise end in January 2026.
It is plain that things have not gone well. The landlord has applied to terminate the tenancy. Given that an agreement was reached at the hearing, it is not necessary for me to go further into detail around that.
At the hearing today the parties have agreed that the tenancy will come to an end. It was agreed that the tenancy will end in 30 days’ time at the most, which is 9 July 2025.
However it was also agreed that if the tenant finds somewhere else to live sooner, then she will give notice to the landlord and the tenancy will end on the date stated in that earlier notice.
Given the parties have in effect mediated a resolution to the dispute, it is appropriate to order suppression of both parties names. However the landlord has agreed that the order can be provided to MSD to assist with finding another tenancy.
Finally I commend the parties for reaching a pragmatic resolution to the dispute.
