Determination. … The Tribunal considered the written evidence and submissions of the Applicant. The Tribunal notes that the Applicant did not attend the hearing to give oral evidence or confirm her written evidence. … The Tribunal also considered the written evidence and submissions of the Respondent. The Tribunal notes that the Respondent attended the hearing to give oral evidence and confirm her written evidence under oath. … The Tribunal has no reason to doubt the truth of the Respondent’s testimony and accordingly prefers the evidence which she gave, insofar as the parties have given differing accounts. … The Tribunal also notes that the evidence submitted by the Applicant was paltry, in that she did not provide any independent documentary corroboration at all of ever having lived in the Property as her home (whether at the outset of the tenancy or otherwise). …
