Tenancy Tribunal
The Tenancy Tribunal can help you if you have an issue with a tenant or landlord that you can’t solve yourself. The Tribunal will hear both sides of the argument and can issue an order that is legally binding.
Important COVID-19 information on the Tenancy Tribunal: During the COVID-19 lockdown, the Tenancy Tribunal has the power to have hearings on the papers presented, without each party attending in person. The Tribunal may also have hearings by telephone or videoconference. How this works in practice will be managed by the Tenancy Tribunal itself.
Landlords and tenants should talk to each other, work together and take care of each other wherever possible. Try to come to an arrangement that suits everyone. We need to work together and help each other to fight Covid-19.
