What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's failure to perform lawn maintenance and improper disposal of garbage. The Landlord served a N5 notice of termination on November 6, 2020 with a termination date of November 30, 2020.

The ruling

The Landlord's L2 application is dismissed as the Tenant voided the N5 notice in accordance with section 64(3) of the Act. The Board's position is that lawn maintenance is usually the Landlord's responsibility pursuant to section 20 of the Act.
