What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial rent arrears exceeding $56,000. A preliminary issue arose regarding whether the Tenant's son should be included as a tenant; the Board determined he was an occupant as he was a minor when the lease was signed and did not sign the agreement. The Tenant admitted to the arrears, citing unemployment, and requested additional time to find alternative housing through social services.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 13, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $52,846.11 to the Landlord, representing arrears and filing fees minus the rent deposit and interest. To void the eviction and continue the tenancy, the Tenant must pay $63,666.00 by September 13, 2025.
