What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid N4 Notice, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had been residing in the rental unit since 2006 and relied on a rent subsidy to meet their rent obligations.
The ruling
The Board has no jurisdiction to intervene with the Tenant's rent-geared-to-income (RGI) eligibility decision made under the Housing Services Act, 2011. The Board ordered the tenancy terminated unless the Tenant voids the order by paying the outstanding rent arrears of up to $11,634 by January 6, 2025. If the Tenant does not void the order, they must vacate the unit by January 6, 2025.
