What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants' legal representative challenged the validity of the N4 Notice served by the Landlord.
The ruling
The N4 Notice served by the Landlord is invalid due to the illegal rent increase from $7,433 to $12,000 per month. The Landlord's application is dismissed.
