Topic:
Can my landlord refuse to renew my lease?

I have lived in my current address for approx 6 years. In the past year, due to medical issues that kept me off work, I have been consistently late paying my rent. I am up-to-date, just late. The landlord has provided a warning letter and has now sent a notice stating that he will not renew my lease and asking me to move in 60 days time.
I have just received a letter from my dr stating that I am ok to return to full time work. I have a good job and am able to pay my rent. The notice states that the landlord can take me before the Board to evict me if I refuse to move. I don't want to move - and I do now have the means to my rent on time.
I am otherwise an excellent tenant.
1) Does the landlord have the right to terminate my lease for consistently late rent?
2) Should I go before the Board and tell them my story? I can now pay my rent on time. Pls provide advice.
