What happened

The Landlords applied for eviction and termination of tenancy due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants requested relief via a repayment plan of $850 per month on top of regular rent. The Landlords argued financial hardship, noting they were borrowing from a line of credit to maintain the property and that rent arrears had been a persistent issue since 2023.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $6,571.19 if they vacate, representing rent arrears minus the deposit and interest. To void the eviction and continue the tenancy, the Tenants must pay $15,048.50 by July 14, 2025, or $18,021.00 by July 31, 2025.
