What happened

The landlord, One Clarendon Inc., owns a residential apartment building in Toronto. The tenants, Kathleen and John Finlay, moved into an apartment in June 2021 but have not paid rent since September 2021. The landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenants due to non-payment of rent. The tenants have repeatedly used medical reasons to avoid attending proceedings, which the court has found to be abusive of the system.

The ruling

The court granted judgment in the principal amount of $153,539 against the tenants and granted the landlord leave to issue a writ of possession. The court also ordered the tenants to post security for costs of the appeal in the amount of $261,374.10.
