What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Tenant had been in arrears since 2019 due to issues with seasonal work and garnishment by the Family Responsibility Office. The Tenant had no income at the time of the hearing and indicated he would not be able to make any payments towards the arrears until April 2021.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective January 5, 2021. The Tenant was ordered to pay $11,437.27 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and the application fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant was given the opportunity to void the eviction order by paying $13,890.00 on or before January 5, 2021.
