What happened
Tenant Georgia Mitrou sought to extend the time for appealing a Landlord and Tenant Board order that terminated her tenancy and required her to pay $25,000 in outstanding rent. The Landlord, Kanika Singh, opposed the extension. The court dismissed the tenant's motion to extend the appeal deadline, finding no merit to the proposed appeal and that granting an extension would be an abuse of process given the tenant's persistent non-payment of rent.
The ruling
The Divisional Court dismissed the tenant's motion to extend time for appealing a Landlord and Tenant Board order that terminated the tenancy and required payment of $25,000 in rent arrears. The court found no merit to the proposed appeal and determined that granting an extension would be an abuse of process given the tenant's persistent non-payment of rent, which had accumulated to at least $112,000 by the time of the hearing.
