Tenant

U.E.

What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction after the Tenant provided a notice to terminate (N9). An order was initially issued without a hearing. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside that order, arguing she was pressured to sign the N9 and that the notice was invalid because the fixed-term lease had not yet ended. The Tenant also cited her circumstances as a new immigrant and single mother as reasons to stay the eviction.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside the eviction order was denied. The Board found the N9 notice provided by the Tenant to be valid and not signed under duress. However, the Board granted the Tenant additional time to find new housing due to her financial struggles and children's needs, lifting the stay of the eviction effective November 30, 2025.
