Reasons
- A representative of the landlord attended the hearing by video.
- The tenants did not join the hearing by either the video link or dial-in instructions provided in the Notice of Hearing. They were served with the application and Notice of Hearing at their email addresses for service. I am satisfied that they had an opportunity to attend and that it is appropriate to proceed with the hearing.
- The landlord had applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. The tenancy ended before the hearing date. So, I only had to consider the claim for rent arrears. provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- As the landlord was the successful party, I have also awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
