What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to failure to pay rent and substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of the property. The Landlord was represented by a property management company, LRI, which was found to not have the authority to serve notices or file applications under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Applicant's application is dismissed because LRI, the property management company, did not have the authority to serve notices of termination or file applications with the Board under the Residential Tenancies Act.
