TERMINATION BY TRIBUNAL

Under typical tenancy legislation, a tenant can approach the appropriate tribunal directly to terminate a tenancy agreement during a fixed term or periodic tenancy if:

• the lessor has breached the standard terms and conditions in the lease agreement.
• the tenant would suffer significant hardship if the agreement were to continue.
• the tenant or the tenant's family or the tenant's property has suffered, or is likely to suffer, damage or injury by the lessor.
• the lessor made a false or misleading statement, which resulted in the tenant entering into the tenancy agreement.

To have a tenancy agreement terminated by such a tribunal, a tenant must make an application in writing.
