What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The Landlord also applied for an order requiring the Tenants to pay the Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for unpaid utility costs.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination of the tenancy cannot be granted due to a defective N5 notice. However, the Landlord has proven the claim for compensation of $1,598.79 for unpaid utilities, plus $186 in application fees, which the Tenants are ordered to pay.
