What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served an N4 notice, but it contained conflicting rent amounts of both $2,300.00 and $2,350.00 monthly. The parties agreed that the correct rent amount was $2,300.00.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed due to the defective N4 notice, which contained conflicting rent amounts. The Board cannot issue an order terminating the tenancy without a valid notice of termination.
