The appellant tenants appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board order requiring them to pay $2,000 in rent arrears.
The tenants had vacated the premises with 30 days' notice instead of the required 60 days, arguing they had assigned the lease.
The Board found the landlord reasonably refused consent to the assignment because the tenants failed to provide requested financial information about the proposed assignees.
The Divisional Court upheld the Board's decision, finding no error of law or procedural unfairness, and noted the tenants were correctly barred from raising the landlord's non-compliance with the Act because they failed to provide the required statutory notice.
The appeal was dismissed without costs.
