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 tenants were still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The Landlord's rent increases were found to be valid. The Tenant raised several maintenance issues under section 82, and the Landlord was found to have breached his obligations regarding the washing machine, dryer, and electrical system in the basement. The Tenant was ordered to pay $1,306 in rent arrears and application costs by March 31, 2025, and the Landlord was ordered to repair or replace the appliances and electrical system by the same date. If the Landlord fails to complete the repairs, the Tenant can file a new application.
