What happened
The Tenant requested a review of an eviction order, claiming she didn't receive the original hearing notice because it was sent to an incorrect email and an address she no longer resided at. The review was granted. The central dispute was over significant rent arrears. The Tenant argued that she had moved out for a job and had arranged for an occupant to take over the unit and rent payments, believing this absolved her of responsibility. The Landlord contended they only approved an occupant, not a sublet or a new tenant, and that the original Tenant remained liable. The Board found the Tenant was mistaken about her legal obligations and had not properly terminated the tenancy, thus holding her responsible for all arrears until the unit was vacated by Sheriff enforcement.
The ruling
The Board granted the Tenant's request for a review, cancelling the previous order. However, upon hearing the case, the Board ruled in favour of the Landlord. The tenancy was terminated effective December 16, 2024. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $17,337.58, which represents the total rent arrears and NSF fees up to the termination date, after deducting the rent deposit and its accrued interest.
