What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to rent arrears. The Tenant, who had lost his job and has a young child, sought relief from eviction through a repayment plan. The Landlord opposed the relief, claiming corporate financial hardship due to general arrears across their portfolio but provided no specific evidence of hardship. The Adjudicator granted conditional relief, allowing the Tenant to remain in the unit provided they follow a structured repayment plan.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay $3,390.35 in arrears and costs through a monthly repayment plan of $420.00 starting September 21, 2025, in addition to regular monthly rent. If the Tenant misses any payment, the Landlord may apply for an ex-parte order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant.
