The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants for non-payment of rent is denied, subject to the Tenants paying $1,386 in arrears by August 31, 2024. The Tenants believed one month's rent was waived due to a miscommunication, but the Landlord did not explicitly agree to waive the rent.
Tenants have continuously paid rent and the arrears are due to a miscommunication. The payment plan is reasonable.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenants did not void by paying the arrears.
Tenants argue the text messages show the Landlord agreed to waive one month's rent.
Tenants believed one month's rent was waived due to a leak, based on text messages with the Landlord's agent.
