Case Overview: Henri Mukasa Mbulu, the tenant, sought judicial review to set aside decisions made by the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) related to a ten-day notice for unpaid rent.
Landlord's Conduct: The landlord, Xuanming Wu, and others, declined the August rent payment and filed a misleading ten-day notice application, leading to a legal dispute.
Tenant's Response: Mbulu failed to submit a dispute notice upon receiving the ten-day notice and did not pay rent arrears as ordered by the court, nor any rent since August 2023.
Court's Decision: The court found the RTB’s Review Decision to be patently unreasonable and set aside both the Ten-Day Notice Decision and the Review Decision. The order for possession was quashed.
Costs Awarded: Due to the conduct of both parties, which necessitated the hearing, the court decided that no costs would be payable to any party.
