What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Tenant acknowledged that he made a mistake by not prioritizing rent payments and instead used funds to pay for expensive courses.

The ruling

The Tenant is granted relief from eviction and allowed to continue the tenancy if he pays the $2,044.85 in arrears and rent according to a 10-month payment plan, as well as pays the rent as it comes due going forward.
