What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent as per a previous order. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside the eviction order.

The ruling

The motion to set aside the previous eviction order is granted. The Tenant's breach was an isolated incident due to a delay beyond his control, and he has since paid rent on time. Terminating the tenancy is not warranted in these circumstances. The Tenant must pay the $22 outstanding rent within 14 days or interest will accrue.
