Dispute

Non-payment of Rent

Notice

Non-payment of rent (N4)

Amount

$5-10K

Landlord

A.B.

Tenant

M.C.C.

What happened

The Landlord applied for an order for rent arrears. The initial N4 notice for eviction was deemed invalid because it provided only 10 days for termination instead of the required 14. Consequently, the Landlord's request for eviction was denied, but they proceeded with a request for a monetary order for the unpaid rent. The Tenant attended the hearing and agreed with the calculated amount of arrears.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $5,890.00, which covers rent arrears up to June 30, 2025, and the application fee. The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy is dismissed because the N4 notice was invalid. Interest at 4.00% will apply to any unpaid balance after July 29, 2025.
