What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's failure to pay utility bills as required under the tenancy agreement. The Landlord served a valid N5 notice of termination, which the Tenant did not void by bringing the utility accounts into good standing.

The ruling

The Landlord has proven the grounds for termination of the tenancy due to the Tenant's failure to pay utility bills as required under the tenancy agreement. However, a conditional order shall be issued allowing the Tenant to preserve the tenancy provided that the utility bills are paid within 3 days of the due date for the duration of the tenancy.
