What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to persistent late payment of rent. The N8 notice alleged that the Tenants have been persistently late in paying rent since August 2015, except for 2 occasions, and currently owe $3,500 in rent arrears.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The N8 notice served by the Landlord lacked adequate details and reasons for the termination, rendering it defective and unable to support an application for eviction.
