Reasons
- Only the landlord attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and payment of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is therefore terminated under s55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee.
- Because the arrears are so substantial I have directed that this order can be enforced immediately.
