Reasons

Sarah-Jane Norris as the landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant did not answer the calls made at the scheduled time on the two numbers provided to the Tribunal.
The tenant has been served by post to his residential address.
Because I am satisfied the tenant has been served notice of the hearing in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act, 1986 and the tenant has not requested an adjournment, the hearing was conducted in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The landlord explained that the tenancy began in 2023 when the tenant moved into a sleepout on the landlord’s grandfather’s property. When her grandfather passed away on 2 February 2025, the parties formalised the arrangement with a tenancy agreement that was signed on 3 February 2025, by Sarah-Jane Norris as the landlord and [The tenant/s] as the tenant. The start of the tenancy is recorded as the 23rd of February 2023 which is when the tenant first moved into the premises.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as of today’s date is $9,500.00. An adjustment to that amount as been made in consideration of the notice period.
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
