What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants for non-payment of rent. This case involves a complex family dispute where the Tenant is the brother of the Landlord's agent, and the property is owned by a family corporation inherited by their mother. The Tenants argued that the Landlord's agent lacked authority and that the mother had waived the rent due to the Male Tenant's unemployment. The Landlord countered that a letter withdrawing the application was signed by the mother under duress from the Tenants.

The ruling

The LTB ordered that the tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2025, unless the Tenants pay $20,186.00 to void the eviction. If they do not pay and vacate, the Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $18,744.96 plus daily compensation of $32.88 from June 18, 2025, until they vacate.
