Tenant

D.T., F.A.

What happened

The Landlord initially applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants based on an agreement to terminate, resulting in an ex-parte order. The Tenants subsequently filed a motion to set aside that order, which was denied on July 21, 2025, because the Tenants owed over $25,000 in arrears and had no immediate means to pay. The Tenants then filed a request for review of the denial order, claiming serious errors in the proceeding.

The ruling

The request to review the order dated July 21, 2025, is denied. The original decision to deny the motion to set aside the eviction stands. The LTB found no serious errors in the proceedings and noted that the significant rent arrears (exceeding $25,000) justified maintaining the eviction order to avoid further prejudice to the Landlord.
