Holding

The tenant's reference and application are dismissed, the landlord's notice is declared valid and duly served, and the tenant is ordered to pay arrears by January 31, 2023.

Facts

The tenant filed a reference and motion application seeking to restrain the landlord from disposing of auctioned goods. The landlord disputed the validity of the notice and claimed the tenant was in arrears.

Issues

  1. Whether the Notice was valid and duly served?
  2. Whether the tenant was in arrears

Reasoning
