What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The only amount owing was $775.00 for June 2019 rent, which the Tenant claimed was paid by e-transfer but the Landlord said he did not receive the funds.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Tenant paid the June 2019 rent in full, and it would be unreasonable to order the Tenant to pay the rent again due to a third-party issue with the e-transfer.
