What happened

The Landlord appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board order terminating the tenancy based on the property being sold and the purchaser requiring it for personal use. The main issue was whether the Landlord had properly paid the required one month's rent compensation to the Tenant under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Divisional Court dismissed the Tenant's appeal of the Landlord and Tenant Board's decision. The court ruled that the compensation payment made by the Landlord before serving the termination notice was valid under the Residential Tenancies Act. The eviction order was upheld, with the stay lifted as of October 31, 2022. The Tenant was ordered to pay $10,000 in costs to the Landlord.
