What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord served an invalid N4 Notice of Termination, which did not clearly state the rent period in arrears.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed without prejudice due to the invalid N4 Notice of Termination served on the Tenant. The notice did not clearly state the rent period in arrears, which would confuse a reasonable person.
