What happened

Tenant Adrian Sterling appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board decision ordering his eviction for non-payment of rent. Sterling sought an extension to file his Notice of Appeal after missing the 30-day deadline. The court dismissed his motion, finding no merit to the appeal and ongoing prejudice to the landlord due to significant rent arrears.

The ruling

The court dismissed the tenant's motion for an extension to file a Notice of Appeal against the Landlord and Tenant Board's eviction order. The court found no merit to the proposed appeal and ongoing prejudice to the landlord due to significant rent arrears. The tenant was given until November 11, 2022 to vacate the unit, after which the eviction order could be enforced.
