What happened

Tenant appealed an LTB order terminating the tenancy due to non-payment of rent. Landlord sought to quash the appeal or lift the automatic stay. Tenant failed to comply with conditions for appeal, including paying monthly rent and arrears. Court quashed the appeal as it raised no grounds and was manifestly devoid of merit.

The ruling

The court quashed the tenant's appeal of the LTB order terminating the tenancy, finding it manifestly devoid of merit. The automatic stay was lifted. The tenant was given 10 days to arrange for belongings retrieval, after which they would be held in storage for 30 days. The tenant was ordered to pay $3,406.27 in costs to the landlord.
