6. The Tenant was given a first Notice of Termination under section 64 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2016 (the ‘Act’). The termination date was February 16, 2018. The notice cites the Tenant’s failure to allow the Landlord access to the electrical room to check the wiring associated with an emergency power loss. It also sets out the Tenant’s failure to pay the portion of the utility bills that he is responsible pursuant to the lease agreement. This notice was not voided.

7. The Landlords gave a second Notice of Termination, served on February 14, 2018 with a termination date of March 1, 2018. The second notice sets out the issue of overcrowding in contravention of the lease agreement; non-payment of utility bills; interference with access to the basement for repairs and maintenance and unpaid rent.

10. The Tenant owes $539.70 for Hydro and $436.40 for Enbridge for the period of November 2017 to April 2018. The Landlord has repeatedly asked the Tenant to pay his bills but he has failed to do so.
