What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid N4 notice, but the Tenant claimed he was out of the country and did not receive the notice in time.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction was dismissed, but the Tenant was ordered to pay the Landlord $5,682.00 for rent arrears and filing costs. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by July 10, 2023, they will start owing interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
