What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to rent arrears (L1 Application) and persistent late payment of rent (L2 Application). The applications were heard together.

The ruling

The Landlord's L1 Application for rent arrears was discontinued as the Tenant had paid the arrears prior to the hearing. For the L2 Application for persistent late payment, the Board ordered a prompt payment plan as relief from eviction, requiring the Tenant to pay the rent in full and on time for the next 13 months. If the Tenant fails to make any of the required payments, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant.
