What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants had not paid rent since September 2021, accumulating significant arrears. The Tenants requested relief from eviction, proposing a repayment plan.

The ruling

The Board denied the Landlord's application for eviction on the condition that the Tenants adhere to a repayment plan. The Tenants must pay $500 monthly from February 1, 2022, to July 1, 2023, plus $436 on August 1, 2023, in addition to their regular monthly rent. If the Tenants default, the Landlord may reapply for eviction within 30 days of the breach.
