What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction based on non-payment of rent. The Tenants filed cross-applications (T2 and T6) alleging substantial interference with enjoyment and failure to meet maintenance obligations, specifically regarding old carpets, a lack of paint, hot water issues, mould, and pests. The LTB found that the Tenants' mother was an occupant, not a tenant. The Board determined that the Tenants owed rent arrears but granted conditional relief from eviction due to the length of the tenancy (32 years) and the Tenants' commitment to pay. The Tenants' maintenance and interference claims were dismissed for lack of evidence or for being time-barred, though the Landlord voluntarily agreed to address the carpet and paint issues.

The ruling

The Tenants' applications (T2/T6) are dismissed. Regarding the Landlord's application (L1), the Tenants are ordered to pay a total of $6,308.00 to the Landlord on or before July 4, 2025. This amount includes rent arrears, the filing fee, and rent for June and July 2025. If the Tenants fail to pay by the deadline, the Landlord may apply for an ex parte eviction order under section 78 of the Act.
