What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The tenants were still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The Landlord's L1 application for eviction is denied on the condition that the Tenants pay $13,107.79 in arrears and filing fees by April 1, 2023 and make monthly payments of $500 towards the arrears, plus the lawful monthly rent, until April 1, 2025. If the Tenants fail to make any of the required payments, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenants.
