Landlord and Tenant

However, some applications will be void if certain notices have not been given prior to filing the application. For example, an application for termination of a tenancy based on a non-payment of rent will be dismissed if the prescribed notice to end a tenancy early for non-payment of rent (Form N4) was not served on the tenant at least 15 days prior to the filing of the application and arrears of rent are still outstanding as of the date of such filing.

If the N4 claims any sums other than rent, then the N4 is also void. Most scheduled hearings, particularly those based on rent arrears, are disposed of in a matter of minutes. Hearings at the LTB are typically scheduled in blocks with the vast majority disposed of as uncontested, adjourned, withdrawn, subject to consent, or mediated settlements.
