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 claimed they did not receive.

The ruling

The Board cannot issue an order terminating the tenancy without a valid notice of termination. The order is limited to rent arrears and costs only, not eviction. The landlord is ordered to investigate and conduct necessary repairs to the rental unit.
