Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

The application also referred to the tenant failing to keep the property in a reasonable state of cleanliness and attend to repairs.

The application was later amended to include breaches on the basis of damage caused by unauthorised dogs.

At the hearing it was agreed that the tenant would be afforded one week to pay the arrears. She undertook to do this.

It was also agreed that a further application will be made if required to address the other s 56 breaches.

A further application is therefore likely to follow for work orders/compensation and potentially termination if these breaches are not remedied. Not only was there insufficient time to properly consider these issues, but it was also apparent that the tenant had not received full details of the claims against her and precise details of what was required to remedy the breach/breaches alleged to have occurred.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted a conditional termination order.

The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The application is partly successful so the tenant is to pay the filing fee and the landlord’s request for name suppression is approved.
