Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing via remote video conference. The tenants did not join the hearing via the video or telephone link as instructed in the notice of hearing. The hearing continued in the absence of the tenants.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The landlord also provided an updated rent ledger prior to the hearing confirming the outstanding rent arrears as at 7 April 2026. Having sighted the landlord’s rent evidence I am satisfied that the tenants are responsible for the unpaid rent.
- The claim for rent arrears is proven.
