Order Date
Sep 24, 2024
The Landlord's L1 application for non-payment of rent is dismissed. The Landlord failed to prove the rent arrears claimed, as the evidence showed the Tenants likely made cash payments that were unaccounted for by the Landlord. The Landlord's L2 application was withdrawn.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord also applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants because the Landlord has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale of the rental unit and the purchaser in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation. The Landlord's L2 application was withdrawn, and the hearing focused on the L1 application for non-payment of rent.
Landlord argued the Tenants failed to show any cash payments were made and no rent receipts were submitted.
Landlord failed to have a witness with direct knowledge of the relevant time period testify.
Tenant testified he paid rent in cash to the Landlord's husband between November 2021 and May 2022.
