What happened

The tenant appealed an LTB decision that refused to restore his tenancy after an eviction order was set aside. The tenant alleged the landlord made false statements about her son occupying the unit, and instead re-rented it to another tenant for two years. The tenant sought an interim order to prevent the landlord from re-renting or occupying the unit pending the appeal.

The ruling

The court issued an interim order prohibiting the landlord from re-renting the premises or changing its current use by family members until the appeal is decided. The appeal hearing was expedited to the week of October 24, 2022.
