What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant had fallen into arrears due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Landlord's application for eviction was denied, and a payment plan was ordered to allow the Tenant to pay the arrears over a 10-month period.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction was denied. The Tenant is ordered to pay $11,803.84 to the Landlord in installments over 10 months, starting August 15, 2022, and ending May 15, 2023. The Tenant must also continue to pay the monthly rent of $1,744.68 as it becomes due. If the Tenant fails to make any payments as ordered, the Landlord may apply for termination and eviction within 30 days of the breach.
