What happened

The Landlords filed applications for non-payment of rent (L1) and persistent late payment of rent (L2). At the hearing, the Landlords' representative withdrew the L2 application. The Tenants did not attend the hearing. The Landlords provided evidence that the Tenants had accrued significant rent arrears and had a history of non-payment, including a previous LTB order for over $23,000 in arrears at a different property.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenants pay the full amount owing, with specific payment deadlines provided. The first deadline requires a payment of $31,927.91 by May 2, 2025. If the Tenants fail to make the required payments, they must vacate the unit by May 11, 2025, and will owe the Landlords $30,099.97 plus daily compensation. Relief from eviction was denied due to the substantial arrears and the Tenants' history of non-payment.
