What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay $100 in rent arrears as per a previous order. The Tenant disputed the allegation but did not provide any evidence of payment.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the remaining $100 in rent arrears by March 31, 2023. If the Tenant fails to pay, they will owe interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance starting April 1, 2023. Eviction is denied as the balance owing is small and the Tenant has continued making ongoing payments.
