What happened

The Landlord sought eviction for non-payment of rent, while the Tenant filed a cross-application for maintenance issues. The Landlord claimed arrears accumulated since late 2024. The Tenant disputed the amount, claiming additional payments were made by third-party agencies and alleging maintenance issues since 2019. However, the Tenant failed to provide corroborating evidence for the payments or sufficient particulars for the maintenance claims.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 31, 2025, unless the Tenant voids the order by paying the arrears. The Tenant owes a net balance of $975.16 as of the hearing date. The Tenant's maintenance application was dismissed for lack of detail. Eviction was postponed to the end of the year to accommodate the Tenant's medical circumstances.
