What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment of rent. The Landlords served valid N4 and N8 notices, but the N8 notice was found to be defective.

The ruling

The Landlords' L2 application is dismissed. The Tenants are ordered to pay $16,086.00 in rent arrears and costs according to a repayment schedule. If the Tenants fail to make any payment, the Landlords may apply to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants.
