What happened
Tenant appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board decision terminating her tenancy and evicting her for non-payment of rent. The main issue was whether the landlord's property manager could legally sign the notice of termination as the landlord's agent.
The ruling
The Divisional Court dismissed the tenant's appeal of the LTB decision terminating her tenancy for non-payment of rent. The court agreed with the LTB's interpretation that a property manager can sign a notice of termination as the landlord's agent under s. 43(1) of the RTA, without needing to be licensed to practice law.
