What happened

The Landlords applied for termination of the tenancy and eviction based on two grounds: non-payment of rent and the requirement of the unit for personal use by their son. The Tenants argued that they stopped paying rent due to maintenance issues and questioned the good faith of the personal use claim, suggesting the Landlords were facing mortgage foreclosure.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 30, 2025, due to both non-payment of rent and personal use by the Landlords' son. The Tenants are ordered to pay a net total of $8,258.75, which accounts for arrears, compensation, and the filing fee, minus the rent deposit and interest. The eviction was delayed by six weeks to allow the long-term Tenants time to find new housing.
