What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant 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 Tenant initially did not void by paying the arrears. However, the Tenant later made a payment that voided the N4 Notice, so the Landlord's application was converted to an arrears-only application.

The ruling

The Tenant's request to review the previous order was granted. The N4 Notice was found to be valid, but the Tenant's payment on April 28, 2022 voided the notice. The Landlord's application was converted to an arrears-only application, and the Tenant was ordered to pay $907.07 in rent arrears and application costs in $100 monthly installments.
