When a tenant receives a Notice of Termination, he has the right of dispute before the Rentalsman.
If he fails to file a dispute, or in the case of non-payment of rent, still does not pay, he is considered

‘TERMINATION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RENT:

A tenant is required to pay his rent on the date due. Failure to doso may result.in his being served ve
with a Notice of Termination.
He then has 5 days to pay the rerit and if he does so within. this period, the Notice becomies void.
If rent is not paid within the 5 days or a dispute is not filed with the Rentalsman, the tenant must
vacate the premises on the date shown on the Natice of Termination.

NEW SECURITY DEPOSIT’ PROCEDURES:

At the termination of a tenancy, a landlord must, within 15 days, either:

(A) have the tenant's written permission to retain all or part of the security deposit;
(B) file a claim upon the tenant and the Rentalsman;
. (C) or commence a court action against the tenant.

Failure to do one of the above will result in the landlord forfeiting his claim, j in which case the tenant's
security deposit MUST be returned.

A landlord is no longer required to send the security deposit to the Rentalsman, but the Rentalsman
will continue to resolve any disputes..
