What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenants were persistently late in paying their rent, with 11 late payments in 11 months. The Tenants were absent from the hearing. The Board found the Landlord's claim was proven but granted the Tenants relief from eviction, ordering a conditional payment plan as requested by the Landlord.

The ruling

The tenancy is not terminated. It will continue if the Tenants meet specific conditions: they must pay April 2025 rent by April 30, 2025, pay rent in full and on time for the following 12 months (May 2025 to April 2026), and pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application fee. If the Tenants breach these conditions, the Landlord can apply for an eviction order without notice.
