What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenants did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed without prejudice, as the Landlord was unable to provide sufficient evidence that the N4 notice was properly served on the Tenants in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act.
