What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent. The Tenant, who has a minor child, attended the hearing late and admitted to being poor with money management, prioritizing other expenses over rent. The Tenant raised maintenance issues concerning a flood, washer/dryer, and mould, but the adjudicator did not find them serious enough to refuse eviction. The adjudicator denied relief from eviction, deeming the tenancy non-viable.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenant pays the Landlord $15,286.00 by May 31, 2025. If payment is not made, the Tenant must vacate by May 31, 2025, and owes the Landlord $13,191.83 plus daily compensation of $42.74 from May 15, 2025. The adjudicator denied the Tenant's request for relief from eviction, finding the tenancy unsustainable.
