What happened
The Landlord filed an application to evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent. During the hearing, it was determined that the N4 Notice served by the Landlord was invalid because the termination date was less than the required 14 days. Consequently, the application for eviction was dismissed. However, the Landlord chose to proceed with the application solely for the rent arrears owed by the Tenant.
The ruling
The Landlord's request to evict the Tenant is dismissed because the N4 notice was invalid. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $5,301.00, which includes rent arrears and the application filing fee. The tenancy is not terminated by this order.
