What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction after the Tenant breached a previous LTB consent order from June 2025. An ex-parte eviction order was issued in October 2025. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside that order, admitting to the breach but citing financial hardship. The Board found the Tenant's decision to prioritize other debts over rent unreasonable and denied the motion, though it granted a short stay of eviction to allow the Tenant to find housing.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside the eviction order is denied. The stay of eviction is lifted effective December 31, 2025, providing the Tenant a short period to secure alternative housing. The previous order LTB-L-085345-25 remains in effect, and the Tenant remains liable for the significant rent arrears.
