What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction and termination of tenancy due to non-payment of rent. The primary point of contention was whether the Tenant had paid rent for April 2025 in cash, as the Landlord's ledger contained a potential error and no receipt existed. The Tenant claimed payment was made but failed to provide corroborating bank records or witness testimony from her ex-partner.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 31, 2025, unless the Tenant voids the order by paying $6,870.00. If the Tenant does not void the order, she must vacate by the termination date and pay the Landlord $4,042.58 plus daily compensation of $43.33 from June 27, 2025, until she vacates.
