What happened

The Landlord sought a review of a previous order that dismissed eviction applications for non-payment of rent and substantial interference. The original Member had found that the Tenants paid all rent arrears before the final hearing, leaving only the filing fee, and that the allegations of substantial interference regarding shoes in a stairwell did not persist through the statutory voiding period of the N5 notice.

The ruling

The request to review order LTB-L-100116-23 is denied. The original order, which dismissed the Landlord's eviction applications, is confirmed. The Tenants are still required to pay the $201.00 filing fee as previously ordered, but the tenancy is not terminated because the rent arrears were paid and the interference notice was voided.
