What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant because the Tenant entered into an agreement to terminate the tenancy. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside the ex-parte order.

The ruling

The Board granted the Tenant's motion to set aside the ex-parte order issued on July 24, 2023. The Board found that the Landlord was not acting in good faith when obtaining the Tenant's signature on the agreement to terminate the tenancy, and that it would not be unfair to set aside the order. The Landlord's L3 application was dismissed.
