What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to significant rent arrears. This was the second time within a year that the parties were before the LTB for non-payment. The Tenant claimed a recent change in financial circumstances, including starting a new job on the day of the hearing and the end of wage garnishments. However, post-hearing evidence submitted by the Tenant contradicted his testimony, showing he had been at the same job for nearly a year. The Landlord argued the tenancy was no longer viable.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 31, 2025. The Tenant can void the eviction by paying $4,532.22 by July 31, 2025, or $5,789.11 by August 31, 2025. If the Tenant does not void the order and does not move out, the Landlord can enforce the eviction through the Sheriff starting September 1, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $2,320.04 to the Landlord if the tenancy is terminated, plus daily compensation of $41.32 until they vacate.
