What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a N4 Notice of Termination, but the N4 notice was found to be invalid.

The ruling

The N4 Notice of Termination was found to be invalid, so the Landlord's application was amended to pursue an order for rent arrears only. The Tenants are ordered to pay $8,586, which includes $8,400 in rent arrears and $186 in application fees. If the full amount is not paid by May 7, 2021, the Tenants will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
