C.V.

Tenant

S.R., I.R.

What happened

The Landlord applied for an order requiring former tenants to pay rent arrears, daily compensation, and out-of-pocket costs for unpaid utilities. The application was dismissed because the Landlord failed to serve the Former Tenants with the application and notice of hearing at least 30 days before the hearing, as required by the Act and Board Rules.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for rent arrears and utility costs against former tenants was dismissed because the Landlord failed to serve the required legal documents to the respondents. The request for an adjournment was denied as the Landlord had several months to effect service but failed to do so.
