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 Notice of Termination (N4 notice) on the Tenant. However, the N4 notice was defective because it included an illegal rent increase, rendering the notice invalid.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed because the N4 notice was defective due to the inclusion of an illegal rent increase.
