What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid N4 Notice, but the Tenant did not void the notice by paying the rent arrears.

The ruling

The N4 Notice was invalid due to inconsistencies in the Landlord's claims about the rent arrears period. The Tenant is ordered to pay $2,000 in rent arrears and $186 in filing costs to the Landlord. If the Tenant does not pay by June 30, 2023, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
