Order
- The application is dismissed.
Reasons
- The landlord has applied for termination and possession of the tenancy or alternatively possession based on a notice.
- Following an earlier hearing, that only the landlord attended, an earlier order of the Tribunal determined that a residential tenancy was in place between the parties and made orders case managing this matter for today’s face to face hearing.
- Neither the applicant nor the respondent attended the hearing at the scheduled time, request an adjournment, or notify the Tribunal the matter has settled. See sections 78(1)(i) and 92(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord has not responded to the case management directions set out in the earlier order. The Tribunal sent a reminder of these directions on 28 May 2026 by email and there has been no response to that message either.
- The Tribunal waited over 45 minutes beyond the scheduled start time for this hearing. Neither party contacted the Tribunal during this time nor arrived at the Tribunal to take part in the hearing.
- The landlord’s application is therefore dismissed.
