Reasons

Ms Rea represented the landlord. The tenant did not attend the hearing. I conducted the hearing by video. I am satisfied that proper notice of the hearing was provided to the tenant.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate 1 .

Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.

The tenant has breached his obligations by failing to reside at the premises and by being away from the premises for more than 30 days (breaches of clauses 25 and 26 of the tenancy agreement).

The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 24 November 2025, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.

It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because this is a social housing tenancy for which there is considerable demand.

I first heard the application on 16 February 2026. The tenant was awaiting a Court appearance at which new bail conditions would be imposed.

I directed the tenant to provide a copy of his bail conditions before the hearing today. He failed to do so.

The landlord consented to an adjournment of that hearing to await the outcome of the new bail conditions.

Ms Rea said the landlord understood that the tenant had been bailed to another address in Westport, not to the tenancy address.

Because the tenant’s breach has not been (and probably cannot be) remedied, the tenancy is terminated. I have granted the landlord possession next Tuesday to coincide with the end of the current rent period. There are no rent arrears.
