What happened

Landlord applied for termination and eviction due to non-payment of rent. The original order found the N4 notice defective. Landlord requested a review, claiming the parking charge was separate from rent and not subject to guideline increases. The review was denied, confirming the original order.

The ruling

The Landlord's request to review the original order was denied. The Board confirmed that parking fees are included in the definition of rent and subject to guideline increases, even when charged separately. The original order, which found the N4 notice defective, remains unchanged.
