Order

By the mutual agreement of the parties, this tenancy ends, and possession returns to the landlord, at 5pm Sunday 14 September 2025, if not earlier by appropriate tenant notice.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The tenant was supported by her father.
The issue with this tenancy is straightforward. The tenant has two pet dogs and an extremely strong bond with them. The current premises is unsuited to having pets such as here. The landlord wants the dogs removed.
The tenant would rather end the tenancy than be separated from her pets. She is actively exploring or seeking alternative housing arrangements. I wish her every success with that.
Given the above, the parties agreed the tenancy should ended as ordered by consent here.
This order may be enforced as a possession order after 14 September 2025.
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal on its own initiative order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
Given this is an order by consent I consider it appropriate to order suppression of all identifying details.
