Mental suffering underlined in failed eviction bid

Quan Shu also failed in his bid to end the tenancy because he sent the application to the tribunal on the same day he issued a 14-day breach notice to the tenant, who has name suppression.

The notice claimed the tenant continually engaged in loud/obscene and offensive verbal disputes involving his female partner; and caused other residents to be alarmed and disturbed and thereby violating body corporate operational rules as a tenant.

Shu claims he received phone calls from neighbours of the premises, pleading for the tenancy to end “the sooner the better”.

He says he felt pressured and hence he applied to the tribunal for termination immediately after having served the 14-day breach notice on the tenant on 27 September last year.
