What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payments. The Tenant had filed for bankruptcy during the tenancy, which impacted the collection of arrears prior to the filing date. However, significant arrears accumulated after the bankruptcy filing. The Tenant admitted to being unable to afford the rent due to job loss and illness.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 22, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $11,257.46 for rent arrears accumulated after the bankruptcy filing date, plus daily compensation of $37.99 from April 4, 2025, until they vacate. The request for relief from eviction was denied as the tenancy was deemed non-viable.
