What happened

The Landlord sought to quash the Tenant's appeal of an LTB eviction order due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant had not paid rent since mid-2020 and owed substantial arrears. The Landlord argued the appeal was devoid of merit and an abuse of process. The Tenant claimed the LTB erred in not consolidating her harassment application with the Landlord's arrears application.

The ruling

The court quashed the Tenant's appeal of the LTB eviction order. The appeal was found to be devoid of merit and an abuse of process. The Tenant had not paid rent since mid-2020 and owed substantial arrears. The court found no basis to extend time for the Tenant to perfect the appeal. The eviction order was upheld.
