Decision
The Landlord withdrew the application following the identification of an invalid notice of rent increase, which rendered the N4 notice defective. The file is closed.
Dispute
The Landlord applied for eviction due to rent arrears. The Tenant challenged the validity of a rent increase notice, rendering the N4 notice defective. The Landlord withdrew the application at the hearing.
