S.C., C.C.

What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenants for substantial interference due to unpaid water and sewer charges totaling $7,037.15, as required by the tenancy agreement. The Tenants acknowledged the debt but cited financial hardship. The Board granted relief from eviction, ordering a payment plan for the arrears and the application fee, and requiring the Tenants to keep current on future utility payments.

The ruling

The tenancy is continued on the condition that the Tenants adhere to a payment plan to clear arrears of $7,037.15 for unpaid utilities, pay the Landlord's $186.00 application fee, and remain current on all future utility payments for one year. Failure to comply allows the Landlord to apply for an eviction order without a hearing.
