What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy after the Tenant breached a previous LTB conditional order by failing to pay January 2025 rent. An ex-parte eviction order was issued. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside this eviction order, citing past maintenance issues affecting her health and income, and difficulty with the Rent Bank. The hearing addressed the fairness of upholding the eviction given the circumstances.
The ruling
The Tenant's motion to set aside a prior eviction order (LTB-L-003982-25) is denied. The Board found the Tenant breached a previous conditional payment order and the current rent arrears of $27,314.51 are substantial. The Tenant's arguments about maintenance issues and job loss were not found to be sufficient grounds to overturn the eviction. The stay on the eviction order is lifted immediately, and the original order remains in effect.
