Dispute

Non-payment of Rent, Persistent Late Payment

Notice

Non-payment of rent (N4), Persistent late payment (N8)

Landlord

Homestead Land Holdings Ltd.

Tenant

C.M.

What happened

The Landlord filed applications for eviction due to rent arrears (L1) and persistent late payments (L2). Before the hearing, the Tenant paid all arrears and the filing fee. The parties agreed to a consent order where the L1 application was discontinued. For the L2 application, a conditional order was issued requiring the Tenant to pay rent on time for 12 months. Failure to comply allows the Landlord to seek eviction without a new hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for non-payment of rent is discontinued. By mutual agreement, the Tenant is ordered to pay rent on or before the first day of each month for a 12-month period from May 1, 2025, to April 1, 2026. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord can apply for an eviction order under section 78 of the Act without notice to the Tenant.
