What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial rent arrears. The Tenant did not dispute the arrears but raised maintenance issues regarding unrepaired floors, citing a previous LTB order that granted a 25% rent abatement if repairs were not completed. The Landlord admitted the repairs were not done. The Tenant did not seek to maintain the tenancy but requested time to find new housing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 18, 2025, unless the Tenant pays $26,302.34 to void the order. If the Tenant does not void the order and vacates, she is ordered to pay the Landlord $19,542.51. This total accounts for rent arrears minus a rent abatement for maintenance failures and the last month's rent deposit plus interest.
