What happened

The Landlord, a corporation, filed two applications: one for non-payment of annual rent (L1) and another for the Tenant's failure to provide proof of insurance, constituting substantial interference (L2). The Tenant did not attend the hearing. The LTB granted the L1 application, finding the rent was owed. However, the L2 application was dismissed because the Landlord filed it more than 30 days after the termination date on the first N5 notice, and a second N5 notice issued by the Landlord was deemed invalid.

The ruling

The Landlord's L2 application for substantial interference was dismissed due to a late filing and an invalid second N5 notice. The L1 application for non-payment of rent was granted. The tenancy will be terminated unless the Tenant pays $787.31 by May 31, 2025. If the amount is not paid, the Tenant must vacate by June 1, 2025, and pay the Landlord $787.31 plus daily compensation of $1.64 from June 1, 2025, until moving out.
