What happened

Landlords applied to evict Tenants for non-payment of rent (L1 application) and persistent late payments (L2 application). The Tenants had a documented history of paying rent late 13 times over 13 months and had ceased payments entirely from February 2025, accumulating arrears of over $19,000. The Tenant cited significant personal and financial hardship. The Board found the tenancy unsustainable but granted a delayed eviction to June 30, 2025, providing a final opportunity for the Tenants to pay the arrears in full or find alternative housing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenant voids the order by paying $19,555.00 by May 31, 2025, or $22,322.00 by June 30, 2025. If the order is not voided, the Tenant must vacate by June 30, 2025, and pay the Landlord $15,659.92 plus daily compensation of $90.97 from May 23, 2025. If the order is voided, the Tenant must pay rent on time for 12 months, or the Landlord can apply for eviction without notice.
