What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment of rent. 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 L2 application based on the N8 Notice is dismissed as the notice did not provide sufficient details as required by the Act. The Landlord is awarded $15,098 in rent arrears and $3,467.35 in unpaid water costs. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by November 11, 2024, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
