What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent and the need to demolish the rental unit. The Landlord had previously filed an application to evict the Tenant for demolition, which was dismissed. The current application was heard on the issue of persistent late payment of rent only, as the demolition portion was found to be res judicata.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent was granted. The tenancy is terminated effective May 31, 2025, and the Tenant must vacate the unit by that date. The Tenant was ordered to pay the Landlord $331.92 in compensation and application fees. The Tenant's request for a 6-month extension was granted, given the Tenant's mental health concerns.
