What happened

The Landlord obtained an ex-parte eviction order after the Tenant breached a previous consent order by failing to pay rent on May 1, 2025. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside the eviction order, citing financial and emotional hardships but stating her financial situation has since improved. The Landlord opposed the motion, noting this was the Tenant's second breach and expressing doubt regarding future compliance.

The ruling

The motion to set aside the eviction order issued on May 27, 2025, is granted. The Tenant is permitted to remain in the unit conditional upon following a new 12-month payment plan. The Tenant must pay $4,480.60 in arrears through 11 monthly installments of $373.38 and a final installment of $343.72, in addition to regular monthly rent. Failure to meet any payment allows the Landlord to apply for an ex-parte eviction order within 30 days of the breach.
