Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by video.
The tenant did not attend by the video link in the Notice of Hearing and did not dial into the hearing using the instructions in the Notice of Hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, water rates and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date.
However, the landlord advised that it has agreed to a payment plan with the tenant and requested a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. I have made the 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.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the date of the hearing.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have also awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
