What happened

The Landlord filed two applications (L1 and L2) to terminate the tenancy. The L1 application was for non-payment of rent, and the L2 was for substantial interference due to the Tenants' failure to pay their share of utility costs as per the lease agreement. The Tenants did not dispute the rent arrears or the unpaid utilities.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenants pay the full arrears. The Tenants can void the eviction by paying $9,586.00 by May 31, 2025, or $12,486.00 by June 30, 2025. If they fail to do so, they must vacate by June 30, 2025. The Tenants are also ordered to pay $460.87 for unpaid utilities. If the L1 order is voided, the tenancy continues on the condition that utilities are paid on time for one year.
