    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDPE1502/2020

    Tribunal found on balance of probabilities the HK$5,000 sent by the respondent was payment of annual rent but that the respondent used the Property for residential purposes in breach of Clause 6(i); the claim that the respondent cut water or failed to assist under Clause 3 failed because the original pump was broken and Clause 3 is void for uncertainty; accordingly the tenancy was forfeited and the applicant entitled to recovery of possession; costs awarded at 60% to applicant.
