What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the Tenant argued was invalid.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed without prejudice because the N4 notice served to the Tenant did not accurately set out the amount of rent arrears due, which is a mandatory requirement under the Residential Tenancies Act.
