My landlord sent me a letter of termination by fax. Can he do this?
Yes,
if all other efforts have failed. Under the Residential Tenancies
Act, notices to end a tenancy must be served personally or
sent by registered mail. If a landlord is having trouble serving
a notice on a tenant, the notice can be given to an adult person
who lives with the tenant, or by posting it in a conspicuous place
at the rented premises. If all of these methods fail, notice can
be served electronically as long as it will result in a printed
copy of the notice being received in the rented premises.
