What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent. However, at the start of the hearing, the Landlord requested to withdraw the application due to an unspecified defect discovered shortly before the hearing.
The ruling
The Landlord's application was dismissed as withdrawn. The Landlord was ordered to pay $300 to the Tenant for legal costs due to the unreasonable conduct of discovering a defect in their application at the last minute. If not paid by August 11, 2023, interest will accrue at 6% annually from August 12, 2023.
