What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord served an N8 notice on October 7, 2021, with a termination date of December 31, 2021. The Tenant has been consistently late in paying rent for multiple months since December 2020.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination due to persistent late rent payment is granted, but the Tenant is given an opportunity to comply with a pay-on-time order. The Tenant must pay full rent on or before the first day of each month for 12 months, starting April 1, 2022. If the Tenant breaches this condition, the Landlord may apply for termination and eviction within 30 days of the breach. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing cost.
