What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent and non-payment of rent. The application was initially resolved by an order issued on April 1, 2021. The Landlord then requested a review of that order, alleging they were not reasonably able to participate in the hearing held on March 22, 2021.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for review was granted. The previous order was cancelled and replaced. The Landlord's L1 application for non-payment was dismissed, as the Tenant had paid all rent owing on the same day the application was filed. The Landlord's L2 application for persistent late payment was granted, with the Tenant given an opportunity to preserve the tenancy by paying rent on time going forward.
