What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant based on allegations that the Tenant or a person permitted by the Tenant seriously impaired the safety of a person and substantially interfered with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment. The Landlord also sought compensation for out-of-pocket expenses. The hearing focused on the validity of the N7 notice and the proof of service regarding essential attachments.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant is dismissed. The Board ruled that the N7 Notice was defective because the Landlord failed to serve the necessary particulars and attachments to the Tenant on the same day the notice was purportedly served. As the foundation of the application (the notice) was invalid, the matter could not proceed.
