What happened
The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy after the Tenants breached conditions of a previous LTB order (LTB-L-023384-25). An ex-parte eviction order was issued on August 26, 2025. The Tenants filed a motion to set aside that order, citing financial hardship due to medical issues and unemployment. The Tenants admitted they could not pay the arrears, which had grown to over $20,000.
The ruling
The motion to set aside the eviction order (LTB-L-068468-25) is denied. The stay of the eviction order is lifted immediately, meaning the Landlords can proceed with eviction. The Tenants owe approximately $20,886.00 in arrears, and the Board found the tenancy unsustainable due to the Tenants' total inability to pay.
