What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to persistent late payment of rent. The Tenants did not dispute the late payments, citing financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board granted relief from eviction, allowing the Tenants to continue the tenancy under specific conditions.

The ruling

The Board ordered the Tenants to pay rent on or before the 1st day of each month for 12 consecutive months starting February 2023. If the Tenants fail to comply, the Landlord may apply for termination and eviction under section 78 of the Act. The Tenants must also pay $186.00 to the Landlord for the application filing cost.
