Dispute

Eviction, Maintenance, Non-payment of Rent

Landlord

A.S., H.F.

Tenant

S.N.

What happened

Tenant appealed multiple LTB orders including eviction orders. Tenant repeatedly requested extensions to perfect his appeals. Landlords sought dismissal of appeals for delay and lifting of eviction stay order.

The ruling

The Divisional Court dismissed the tenant's appeals for delay and lifted the stay of eviction, effective June 28, 2024. The court found that the tenant had no real intention of perfecting his appeals, given his pattern of seeking last-minute extensions and failing to meet deadlines. The grounds of appeal were considered weak, and the ongoing prejudice to the landlords could not be justified given all the circumstances.
