Tenant-initiated Termination

2770 Jane Street Inc

Tenant

C.W.

What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Tenant gave a notice to terminate the tenancy. The Tenant's notice to terminate the tenancy was ambiguous and did not comply with the requirements of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, rendering it invalid.

The ruling

The Tenant's notice to terminate the tenancy was found to be invalid, as it did not clearly state an intention to vacate on a certain, fixed date as required by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Therefore, the tenancy was not terminated, and the Landlord's L3 application was dismissed.
