What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment. Tenant 1 claimed he had vacated the unit long before the application was filed and sought to be removed as a party. The Landlord's representative requested an adjournment due to a scheduling conflict, which was denied. The Board found that Tenant 1 failed to provide credible evidence of when he vacated and ruled that he remained liable as a joint tenant.
The ruling
The tenancy was terminated effective November 30, 2023. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $33,786.00 for rent arrears and the application filing fee, after deducting the rent deposit. The Landlord's application for persistent late payment was dismissed as moot. Interest will accrue at 5% annually if the amount is not paid by July 14, 2025.
