What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate a tenancy and evict unauthorized occupants after the original Tenant vacated the rental unit without their consent. The Landlords also sought compensation from the unauthorized occupants for their use of the unit. The unauthorized occupants argued they had an arrangement with the former Tenant and had attempted to pay rent, but the Board found that no new tenancy had been established.

The ruling

The tenancy with the former tenant is terminated as of November 1, 2024. The Unauthorized Occupants are ordered to vacate the rental unit by June 9, 2025. They are also ordered to pay the Landlords $10,879.52 as compensation for using the unit from November 1, 2024, to May 7, 2025, and a daily compensation of $69.04 from May 8, 2025, until they move out.
