What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a defective N4 Notice, which did not comply with the required 14-day notice period under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed as the N4 notice served was defective and did not comply with the 14-day notice period required under the Residential Tenancies Act. The Board did not have jurisdiction to terminate the tenancy on this application.
