What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant was persistently late in paying rent. Evidence showed the Tenant paid rent late 19 times over a 23-month period. However, since the N8 notice was served, the Tenant's payment behavior improved, with the last three months paid on time. The Landlord requested a 'pay on time' order rather than immediate eviction.

The ruling

The tenancy continues on the condition that the Tenant pays the lawful monthly rent in full and on time on or before the 20th of each month from November 20, 2025, to October 20, 2026. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord may apply for an ex parte eviction order (without notice to the Tenant) within 30 days of the breach.
