The Landlord's application for eviction is dismissed as the notices of termination were found to be invalid. The Tenant is ordered to pay $17,100 in rent arrears and $186 in application fees by February 5, 2024. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by the due date, they will start owing interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served multiple N4 notices, but the notices were found to be invalid as they did not properly identify the rental unit. The Tenant was ordered to pay $17,100 in rent arrears and $186 in application fees.
Landlord sent a text message to the Tenant asking for an increase in rent from $1,700 to $2,400 effective February 1, 2022.
Landlord filed multiple notices of termination, which is not allowed. The notices were also found to be invalid as they did not properly identify the rental unit.
Tenant sought to obtain a remedy under section 82 of the Act due to the Landlord unilaterally removing basement storage from the rented premises.
Tenant paid the increased rent of $2,400 for approximately 10 months, then stopped paying.
