What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Sub Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord also claimed administration charges related to NSF cheques.
The ruling
The application is dismissed. The Landlord did not have reasonable cause to file the application for the $20 administrative charge, and the Landlord abused the process by filing the application immediately after issuing an N4 Notice for a nominal amount of $18.16 in arrears.
