What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants for non-payment of rent is denied, subject to the Tenants paying $1,386 in arrears by August 31, 2024. The Tenants believed one month's rent was waived due to a miscommunication, but the Landlord did not explicitly agree to waive the rent.
