What happened
The Landlord applied for termination of tenancy and eviction due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant accumulated significant arrears exceeding $14,000. The Tenant cited a six-month incarceration and subsequent loss of income as the reason for the default. While the Tenant requested a long-term payment plan, the Landlord sought a standard termination order but consented to a one-month extension for the eviction date.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective August 31, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $13,249.01 to the Landlord for rent arrears and costs if the tenancy is terminated. Alternatively, the Tenant can void the order by paying the full arrears plus filing fees (totaling $15,350.00) on or before August 31, 2025. Daily compensation of $27.95 applies for each day the Tenant remains in the unit after July 18, 2025.
