What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant based on allegations of illegal acts, specifically that the Tenant was fraudulently advertising the rental unit, was wanted by police for fraud, and had caused the Landlord's vehicle to go missing. The application was dismissed because the N6 notice of termination was found to be deficient in detail, lacking specific dates and times for the alleged conduct as required by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to evict the Tenant for alleged illegal acts was dismissed. The Board ruled that the N6 termination notice was invalid because it failed to provide specific details, dates, and times of the alleged conduct, which is a mandatory legal requirement for such serious notices.
