What happened
The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served a N4 Notice, but the Tenant argued that the notice was invalid as it did not specify the rental unit.
The ruling
The N4 Notice served by the Landlord was found to be invalid as it did not specify the rental unit. Therefore, the tenancy cannot be terminated based on this notice. However, the Tenant was ordered to pay the rent arrears of $12,700 by November 11, 2024, or else start accruing interest on the outstanding balance.
