What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant because the Tenant entered into an agreement to terminate the tenancy.

The ruling

The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenant is terminated on June 1, 2021. The Tenant must move out of the rental unit on or before June 1, 2021. If the unit is not vacated on or before June 1, 2021, then starting June 2, 2021, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. Upon receipt of this order, the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) is directed to give vacant possession of the unit to the Landlord on or after June 2, 2021. However, as of the date this matter was heard, the Sheriff cannot enforce this order as a result of Ontario Regulation 266/21 made under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act on April 8, 2021. The Tenant cannot be evicted from the rental unit while this regulation is in force. Eviction by the Sheriff may occur after the regulation is removed by the Ontario Government.
