What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy to demolish the detached home and replace it with a new three-storey building. The Tenant contested the application, alleging bad faith and highlighting discrepancies in development plans. The Tenant also cited her 36-year residency and the difficulty of finding affordable alternative housing in the same community.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination based on demolition was granted. However, due to the Tenant's long-term residency of 36 years and the local housing market challenges, the Board postponed the eviction date to February 28, 2026. The Landlord satisfied the compensation requirement by paying the Tenant $1,093.00 during the hearing.
