What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The application was based on a first N5 notice of termination.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination of tenancy and eviction of Tenants was dismissed due to a defective N5 notice of termination. The notice failed to include the required 7-day period for the Tenants to stop the alleged conduct, as mandated by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
