Application to End a Tenancy: Tenant Failed to Meet Conditions of a Settlement or Order
L4 application: the tenant broke a settlement or order
Many settlements and orders let the tenant stay on conditions, such as paying arrears on a schedule. If a condition is missed, the L4 asks the Board to end the tenancy. It has to be filed within 30 days of the missed condition.
