What happened
The Landlord sought to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial rent arrears exceeding $22,000. The Tenant, living in subsidized housing, admitted to having no funds to pay the arrears and requested a three-month postponement of the eviction to find new housing. The Landlord opposed a long delay, citing the magnitude of debt and a long waitlist for potential tenants, but agreed to a 30-day delay.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective August 17, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $22,264.15 in rent arrears and filing fees. The Tenant may void this order by paying the full amount owing plus any daily compensation before the eviction is enforced. The eviction was postponed to August 17, 2025, to allow the Tenant time to relocate.
