I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question. The termination of a tenancy is an option of last
resort when all other efforts to sustain the tenancy have failed. Ultimately,
the decision to end a tenancy is a matter that is decided by the Magistrates
Court. Termination notices do not represent a terminated tenancy nor an
eviction. A termination notice provides the tenant with a final notice and the
intent to progress the matter to the courts. From 1 April 2021 to 31 May 2021, 319 termination notices have been issued,
but only two bailiff evictions have occurred.
