What happened
The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy to convert the rental unit to non-residential use. The Tenants challenged the validity of the N13 notice, arguing that the termination date did not fall on the last day of the rental period. The Board determined that the notice was defective as it did not comply with the mandatory notice requirements of the Act.
The ruling
The Landlords' application to terminate the tenancy for conversion to non-residential use was dismissed. The N13 notice served was found to be defective because the termination date was not the last day of a tenancy period, and the Board does not have the legal authority to overlook or correct such errors in a termination notice.
