Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing.

The tenant did not connect to the MS Teams link provided to them and nor did they connect via telephone as instructed in the Notice of Hearing sent to them by their email address for service. The hearing proceeded in their absence.

The landlord has applied for: a. Termination of the tenancy b. Rent arrears c. Payment of the bond d. Reimbursement of the filing fee e. Name suppression.

The landlord filed a claim for compensation the morning of the hearing. I declined to hear this claim – the landlord will need to file a fresh application for any compensation claims.

The relevant law is found in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA). Termination

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. 1 Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 2 The landlord served notices to remedy a breach on the tenant on 17 February 2026, 18 March 2026, 24 March 2026, 16 April 2026 and 28 April 2026. The tenant did not remedy the breach.

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. 3

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 4 The tenancy will end on 31 May 2026.
