The landlord sought and obtained a rehearing of the matter (set down for today) on the basis that he has discovered the tenant’s name is not correctly recorded on the tenancy agreement and that therefore the Tribunal’s order as against the wrong party..

The tenant is misdescribed as “Robert J McGaughey” on the relevant tenancy agreement.

It transpires that the actual name of the tenant is [The tenant/s] tenant/s]. “RJ” is just a nickname standing for Robert Junior.

I accept the evidence of the landlord that the party who took the tenancy of his above property under the tenancy agreement was [The tenant/s] tenant/s], and I note that in this regard the landlord confirms that the photograph shown in the driver’s licence that was produced is Mr [The tenant/s] tenant/s].

Mr McGaughey stopped paying rent in August 2025.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and further compensation.

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 at the end of the tenancy as ordered above.

The landlord is entitled to be reimbursed the filing fee.

The landlord will also want to seek recovery for damage and other costs he will incur following the end of the tenancy but he will file a fresh application seeking those orders
