What happened
The Landlord filed to evict the Tenants for non-payment of rent, with arrears totaling $48,280.00. This amount exceeded the Landlord and Tenant Board's monetary jurisdiction, which is capped at $35,000.00. The Tenants cited personal financial difficulties and one tenant's pregnancy as reasons for the arrears. The eviction was granted but postponed.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenants pay the full arrears. To void the order, the Tenants must pay $48,466.00 by May 31, 2025, or $51,951.00 by June 16, 2025. If they fail to do so, they must vacate by June 16, 2025, and pay the Landlord $35,186.00, which represents the maximum claimable arrears under the Board's jurisdiction plus the application fee. They will also owe $114.58 per day from May 16, 2025, until they move out.
