What happened
The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant to convert the rental unit, located in a land-lease community, back into non-residential parkland. The Tenant, who had resided there since 1999, contested the eviction by claiming the land belongs to the native community and requested a one-year delay to move her improvements, including a cottage and septic system.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective August 17, 2025. The Board found the Landlord met the requirements for converting the land-lease unit to parkland. The Tenant's request for a one-year delay to move her cottage and systems was denied because she had been on notice for over a decade. The Landlord was ordered to provide vacant possession via the Sheriff if the Tenant does not move out by the deadline.
