What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenants remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The minor delays in rent payment, while technically late, do not warrant termination of the tenancy or a conditional order. The Landlord did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the minor delays caused any damage.
