What happened

Tenant filed a motion to set aside an ex-parte eviction order (LTB-L-018949-25) issued after she breached a previous conditional order (LTB-L-056566-24). The breach occurred when the Tenant failed to pay the full new lawful rent for March 2025, paying $3,600.00 instead of $3,690.00. The Tenant claimed she didn't understand the rent increase was effective Jan 1, 2025, despite acknowledging the notice. The Board found the rent increase valid and the tenancy financially unviable for the Tenant due to significant arrears and income/expense disparity.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside a previous eviction order (LTB-L-018949-25) is denied. The stay on that order is lifted immediately. The Board found the Tenant breached a prior conditional payment order by not paying the full lawful rent after a valid rent increase. Due to significant arrears ($10,000.00) and the tenancy being financially unviable for the Tenant, the Board ruled it would be unfair to the Landlord to let the tenancy continue.
