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

A representative of the landlord attended the hearing by video link.
The tenant did not attend. I called his mobile number during the hearing, but the call was not answered.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

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 (RTA).
The landlord wanted to give the tenant a final opportunity to pay the arrears and to commit to regular payments. I have granted a conditional termination order accordingly.
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.
The landlord also mentioned that it is having difficulty obtaining access to the premises for an inspection. This was not part of the application, but I note that the landlord is entitled to access as set out in s48 RTA.
