TypeTribunal DecisionPostureApplication for Termination of TenancyCoramNot explicitly named in the text
Holding

The Tribunal found that the notice to terminate tenancy was valid and the landlord was entitled to the orders sought.

Facts

The landlord, Swaleh Abdun Sulum, served a notice to terminate the tenancy of Joshua Kalunge Mambao on 2nd March 2020. The tenant, Joshua Kalunge Mambao, opposed the notice, citing a previous Tribunal decision on a reference dated 5th March 2020.

Issues

  1. Validity of the notice to terminate tenancy
  2. Landlord's entitlement to the orders sought

Reasoning

The Tribunal determined that the notice to terminate tenancy was issued in accordance with the law and that the tenant's opposition was based on a previous Tribunal decision that was not a reference under section 6 of Cap 301, thus section 9(3) of Cap 301 does not apply.

Outcome

The application was granted.

Orders

  • Declaratory order that the tenancy is effectively terminated

Remedies

  • Vacant possession of the suit premises and police escort assistance
