What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a notice of termination, but the notice did not identify the specific rental unit as required by the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The notice of termination was found to be invalid because it did not identify the specific rental unit as required by the Act. The Landlord's application to evict the Tenant was dismissed. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $7,500 in rent arrears and $186 in application fees by July 13, 2021, after which interest will accrue.
