What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenants for persistent late rent payments (N8) and for unpaid utilities. The LTB member found the N8 notice to be invalid because it lacked sufficient detail as required by the Act, specifically dates and amounts of late payments. Consequently, the eviction application was dismissed. However, the Tenants acknowledged owing utility costs, and the Board ordered them to pay the Landlord $527.00 for unpaid water bills plus the $186.00 application fee.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to evict the Tenants for persistent late rent payments is dismissed because the N8 Notice of Termination was found to be invalid. The notice lacked the required details to allow the Tenants to understand the case against them. However, the Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $713.00, which includes $527.00 for unpaid water utilities and the $186.00 application fee.
