Non-payment of Rent

Tenant

A.B., R.C., D.B., M.F.

What happened

The landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenants due to non-payment of rent. The landlord's application was dismissed because the landlord failed to amend the application to add the new landlord as an interested party and serve the new landlord with the application and notice of hearing as ordered under the interim order.

The ruling

The application was dismissed because the landlord failed to comply with the interim order to amend the application and serve the new landlord. The Board found that the landlord no longer had the right to claim the rent arrears because the right runs with the land to the new landlord, who was not present to make submissions.
