Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference.

The landlord has applied for a conditional termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as of today’s date is $4,056.00.

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. History of the tenancy

This tenancy began in 2013. The rent summary provided to the Tribunal today starts from 2020. In April of that year the tenant was approximately $400.00 in arrears. By April 2022 rent arrears had exceeded $1,000.00, by 2023 rent arrears had exceeded $2,000.00 and by 2024 rent arrears exceeded $4,000.00.

The parties attended mediation in March 2024 and a mediated order was issued. The landlord’s representative today stated that this has largely been complied except for technical breaches relating to the vagaries of the tenant’s wages being paid and whether rent has been paid on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Since the mediated order was issued, the tenant has been successful in reducing rent arrears by several hundred dollars.

Given this fact, the landlord’s representative couldn’t explain why termination was now being sought.

The tenant stated that the tenancy began in 2013 when her youngest child had just been born. Her children are now 17 years old and 11 years old and they both live with her full time. Just the three of them live in the house. The tenant stated she is in employment.

The landlord stated that in the circumstances she would be prepared to not seek termination of the tenancy, and seek only a monetary order on the current payment terms.

Clearly if there are any breaches of this monetary order, and the required statutory requirements exist, the landlord will be well within their rights to make a fresh application to the Tribunal seeking termination.

Conversely, if the tenant’s circumstances change, she will be at liberty to make an application to the Tribunal seeking a variation to the terms of this order.
