Order
under subsection (1) if, but only if, it is satisfied that the breach has been remedied (where it is capable of remedy), the landlord has been compensated for any loss arising from the breach, and it is unlikely that the tenant will commit any further breach of a kind to which this section applies Analysis and decision
- The landlord has provided a rent summary to 11 June 2026, which shows that at the time of filing the application on 09 May 2026, the rent was at least 21 days in arrears. Since then, [tenant] have made rent payments of $270.00 on 14 May 2026, $540.00 on 28 May 2026, and $270.00 on 05 June 2026. However, despite these payments, the rent arrears continue to accrue and remain significant.
- I am satisfied that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. As the rent remains in arrears, there are no grounds to refuse termination. Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated.
- The landlord is awarded rent arrears up to the end of the tenancy. Costs
- As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
- Section 95A of the Act provides that on the application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that their name or identifying particulars of that party not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any other circumstances of the case.
- The landlord has been wholly successful but does not seek name suppression.
- Section 95A (4) of the Act provides that the Tribunal, on the application of any party to the proceedings, or on its own initiative, having regard to the interest of the parties and the public interest, may order that all or part of the evidence, or the name or any identifying particulars of any witnesses or party, not be published.
- [ Tenant] has attempted to resolve the matter. Accordingly, I exercise my discretion under section 94A (4) and order the suppression of [ tenant] name only. G Barnett 11 June 2026
