What happened

The Landlords filed applications to evict the Tenants for non-payment of rent (L1), and for persistent late payment, substantial interference, and unpaid utilities (L2). The Board dismissed the persistent late payment claim, finding it was an issue of non-payment. The Board found the Tenants substantially interfered with the Landlords' rights by blocking access with a vehicle and allowing refuse to accumulate. The Tenants' attempt to raise maintenance issues was denied due to failure to provide timely disclosure. The tenancy was terminated and the Tenants were ordered to pay rent arrears and unpaid utilities.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 30, 2025, based on the Tenants' substantial interference. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords a total of $21,348.21, comprising $18,979.42 in rent arrears to the hearing date, a $186.00 application fee, and $2,182.79 for unpaid utilities. Daily compensation of $82.19 is also owed from February 19, 2025, until they vacate. Relief from eviction was denied due to the magnitude of the debt and the unviability of the tenancy.
