What happened
The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant requested an adjournment to combine the hearing with a maintenance application (T6) she filed, claiming rent arrears were related to a flood that forced her into a hotel. The request was denied because the Tenant, who is a paralegal, should have requested the adjournment earlier, and a further delay would be prejudicial to the Landlord. The Tenant had already vacated the unit before the hearing.
The ruling
The tenancy was terminated effective April 30, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $6,586.80 by July 15, 2025. This amount accounts for rent arrears and the filing fee, minus the rent deposit and accrued interest. Interest will accrue on any unpaid balance after the due date.
