What happened
The Tenants filed a motion to set aside an ex-parte eviction order that was issued after they breached a previous LTB-mediated payment plan. Tenant 1 argued that since her spouse had returned to work, they could now afford the rent and requested a reinstatement of the payment plan. The Landlord, a social housing provider, opposed the motion, citing a history of failed payment plans and the negative impact of non-payment on their operations. The Board found it unfair to set aside the order given the history of non-compliance, but the Landlord consented to delay the eviction until September 30, 2025, to allow the family time to find alternative housing.
The ruling
The motion to set aside the eviction order is denied, confirming the termination of the tenancy. However, the stay of the eviction order is extended until September 30, 2025, per the Landlord's consent, to provide the Tenants with time to find alternative living arrangements or financial assistance.
