### sec.345 Objectionable behaviour other than in public or community housing
If an application is made to a tribunal for a termination order because of objectionable behaviour, the tribunal may make the order if it is satisfied—
the applicant has established the ground of the application; and
the behaviour justifies terminating the agreement.
In deciding if the behaviour justifies terminating the agreement, the tribunal may have regard to—
whether the behaviour was recurrent and, if it was recurrent, the frequency of the recurrences; and
for behaviour in the form of harassment, intimidation or verbal abuse—its seriousness.
Subsection (2) does not limit the issues to which the tribunal may have regard.
In this section—
applicant does not include—
the chief executive of the department in which the Housing Act 2003 is administered, acting on behalf of the State; or
a community housing provider.
