What happened

Tenant sought extension of time to appeal a Landlord and Tenant Board order that terminated the tenancy due to non-payment of rent. The tenant failed to file the appeal within the 30-day deadline and subsequently filed a motion for an extension of time. The landlord opposed the extension, citing significant rent arrears and ongoing prejudice.

The ruling

The court dismissed the tenant's motion for an extension of time to file an appeal of the Landlord and Tenant Board's order terminating the tenancy. The court lifted the stay of eviction, allowing the landlord to enforce the Board's termination order. The tenant was ordered to pay $2,000 in costs to the landlord.
