### sec.337 Failure to leave for unremedied breach
This section applies if—
an application is made to a tribunal for a termination order because of a failure to leave; and
the notice to leave was given because of an unremedied breach.
The tribunal may make the order if it is satisfied—
the lessor has established the ground of the application and notice to leave; and
the tenant committed the breach of the agreement stated in the notice to remedy breach about which the notice to leave was given; and
the breach justifies terminating the agreement.
In deciding if the breach justifies terminating the agreement, the tribunal may have regard to—
the seriousness of the breach; and
any steps taken by the tenant to remedy the breach; and
whether the breach was recurrent and, if it was recurrent, the frequency of the recurrences; and
the detriment caused, or likely to be caused, to the lessor by the breach; and
whether the lessor has acted reasonably about the breach; and
any other issues it considers appropriate.
Subsection (3) does not limit the issues to which the tribunal may have regard.
