CARNWATH J.: (Orally)
1The appeal is allowed in part.
2We find no difficulty with the service on the tenant.
3We agree with the Tribunal Member that the notice given by the tenant did not comply with s.47(2) of the Tenant Protection Act.
4We find the Member was wrong in law when he found the landlord’s notice of termination Form N4 operated to terminate the tenancy.
5Our analysis of what happened persuades us that there was an agreement to terminate between the landlord and the tenant. The tenant signalled an intention to move by November 30th on November 1st. The landlord, through its representatives, said this “was okay”. The agreement to terminate was concluded on November 30th when the tenant delivered the keys to the landlord’s representative and the representative accepted them.
6It is unnecessary for us to deal with the submission for prospective rent.
DUNNET J.
7The record will read: “For oral reasons delivered by Carnwath J., the appeal is allowed in part. Costs to the appellant fixed at $750, inclusive of disbursements and GST.”
