What happened

The Landlord applied for and received an ex-parte eviction order after the Tenant breached a mediated settlement from a prior case by failing to make a payment towards arrears. The Tenant then filed a motion to set aside that eviction order. The hearing for the motion proceeded with only the Tenant present, as the Landlord did not attend.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside the ex-parte eviction order is granted. The order issued on March 3, 2025, is set aside, and the prior order from January 27, 2025, is cancelled and replaced. The Tenant is now ordered to pay the Landlord the outstanding arrears of $2,599.94 by May 31, 2025. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord may apply for an eviction order without notice.
