What happened

The Landlord filed an application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to significant rent arrears. The Tenant requested an adjournment of the hearing, claiming insufficient time to prepare, but the request was denied. The Tenant attributed the failure to pay rent to a workplace accident in July 2024 that limited his income. Despite this, the Board ordered the termination of the tenancy, though it postponed the eviction date to provide the Tenant with time to secure new housing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenant pays $21,786.00 by April 30, 2025, or $24,586.00 by May 31, 2025. The Board granted relief from eviction by postponing the eviction date to May 31, 2025, to allow the Tenant time to find alternative housing. If the Tenant fails to void the order, they must vacate by May 31, 2025, and pay the Landlord $15,239.85 plus a daily compensation of $92.05 from March 20, 2025, until they move out.
