RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 1987 - SECT 69

69 Tribunal may terminate residential tenancy agreement where landlord would otherwise suffer undue hardship

(1) The Tribunal may, on application by a landlord under a residential tenancy agreement, make an order terminating the agreement if it is satisfied that the landlord would, in the special circumstances of the case, suffer undue hardship if the agreement were not terminated.

(2) If the Tribunal makes an order terminating a residential tenancy agreement under this section, the Tribunal:

(a) shall also make an order for possession of the residential premises specifying the day on which the order takes effect, and

(b) may make such other orders (including an order that the landlord pay to the tenant compensation for the tenant's loss of the tenancy) as it thinks fit.

(3) The tenant must take all reasonable steps to mitigate the loss and is not entitled to compensation for any loss that could have been avoided by taking those steps.
