If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing – the landlord by video and the tenant by telephone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee and payment of the bond.
The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

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.
After discussion with the tenant I am satisfied she will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have therefore 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. Note
Further issues discussed at today’s hearing included the owner using one of the sheds for her belongings. This was not included in the tenancy agreement. The condition of the garden and the mouldy blind were also discussed. C ter Haar 18 February 2026
