Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing which was held remotely video.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
- The Tribunal must make an order terminating the tenancy if it is satisfied that rent was, at the date on which the application was made, at least 21 days in arrears.
- 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 to the end of this rent week.
- The tenant is liable to pay rent until the date the tenancy premises is vacated.
- The landlord waived its right to reimbursement of the filing fee.
- Suppression: The tenant has applied for suppression of his name. The tenant seeks for his name not to be published as if it is published is likely to make it more difficult for him to secure future tenancy premises.
- I have had regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest. The reasons given by the tenant do not outweigh the public interest in this matter. Accordingly the tenant’s application is declined.
