What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to significant rent arrears exceeding $15,000. Tenant 1 requested an adjournment, claiming he did not receive the notice of hearing because his mailbox lock had been broken for a year. Tenant 1 also disputed arrears from a period between June and October 2024, claiming he had paid a former landlord in cash but provided no evidence of these payments. The Landlord opposed the adjournment, noting that Tenant 1 had attended a previous hearing in March 2025 without mentioning mailbox issues.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 31, 2025, unless the Tenants pay $15,660.51 to void the order. If they do not pay, they must move out by August 31, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay $14,760.10 for arrears up to the hearing date plus the application fee, and daily compensation of $38.45 from August 8, 2025, until they vacate.
