What happened
The landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant due to non-payment of rent. The tenant argued that the rent increase was invalid, and therefore the N4 notice was also invalid.
The ruling
The N4 notice was invalid due to the invalid rent increase, so eviction is not within the jurisdiction of the Landlord and Tenant Board. The tenant is ordered to pay $2,100 in rent arrears to the landlord by October 7, 2023, and no order for costs is made.
