What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Tenants disputed owing rent for May 2021 based on a free month provision in the lease agreement.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction was denied on the condition that the Tenants make a repayment plan to pay the rent arrears and ongoing rent. If the Tenants fail to comply with the repayment plan, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenants.
