What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid N8 notice on the Tenant, alleging the Tenant had paid rent late 5 times in a 13-month period.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed because the N8 notice did not provide accurate details and reasons for the alleged late rent payments, as required by the Residential Tenancies Act.
