Tenant claiming notice of termination is invalid

RTB make it up as they go along, I wouldn't put much stock in what they say.

I issued a tenant with a termination notice of about 3 months that was subsequently deemed invalid due to a small typo/error. Tenant didn't say anything until the day before the notice was up, raised a case with RTB. Case took place about another 2 months later, first thing I did was enquire why the case was proceeding in the first place, seeing as the challenge had come after the 28 day period in which such challenges can be brought (it was 80-odd days before they informed me it was being challenged and they raised a case).

RTB agent said "that only applies to valid notices, there's no time limit for invalid ones". I asked "wait, so you have 28 days to challenge the validity of a valid notice, but you can challenge the validity of an invalid notice whenever the hell you want?"......Yes, was the answer. I just had to accept it. I still wish I'd taken it further, tbh.

That's a standard note added in every Tribunal report, if you check previous RTB rulings, nothing unusual there, and seems to apply to providing false evidence to the Tribunal, not having fake claims for a dispute.

Up to the Tribunal to decide if the case has merits or not.

They don't want to, it keeps people off the streets and from been the government's problem. The RTB isn't impartial its' there for tenants.

So you want to replace the Adjudication and Tribunal with a 1-day check and one click by RTB?

Obviously what's on the paper presented by the LL, even if it looks 100% valid on its own, doesn't mean that the notice is valid in the context of the lease, circumstances of the tenancy, etc.

Both sides need to be heard, if not in RTB, then in Court.

In 2016 I called them about two of my Dad's tenants and how to handle an issue with them. They were very helpful but that has all changed now. I'd hate to work for them it must be hell. In the end one tenant move out and the other we had to kick out. My dad was in hospital at the time and passed away do I guess the problem tenant's mother got him to do the right thing and move.

What is on the lease may have a lot to do with a Notice of Termination.

the date the lease started has an effect on the length of notice required.

The tenancy my be ending during the period of a fixed term which goes to validity.

Terminations for breach of a condition also require sight of the lease as well as other documentation.

It is not just a question of looking at a notice and saying "good to go".

It would 100% eliminate any potential issues down the line with trivial mistakes like typos etc.

are you for real? right, we are talking about this particular case, and in 99.9% of cases, there is no lease extension-unless the landlord was born yesterday- these are basics, we can not only assume, but presume, that the basics are fulfilled , they even contacted a solicitor- there is no solicitor in the country that would issue NOT under the circumstances you describe- so stop the bleeding trolling.

Did you read the posts??? Honestly, they have a solicitor involved- even if they hadn't, they are on here-unless they have less that two brain cells they realize they have to give the correct amount of time depending on when they started the tenency- for arguments sake- let's assume the landlord is not living under a stone- for the love of God.

So go back and

The posts are still there, go back and read them, and while you are doing that, you will have a chance to read my post again that you commented on. After you've done that, please, do me a favor, don't reply to any of my posts.

It's Monday, I really cannot explain things over and over to someone that has difficulty understanding basic protocol, and just wants to cause as much inconvenience as possible to others- that seems to include landlords and other posters on here. Have a lovely day.

This isn't true.

There are different laws governing residential tenancies compared to guest accommodation.
