What happened

The Landlord brought a motion to lift the automatic stay of the Landlord Tenant Board orders. The Tenant had appealed the LTB decision and was directed to pay rental arrears and monthly rent. The Tenant had partially complied with the payment schedule but still owed some arrears. The Tenant also requested an extension to perfect her appeal due to personal circumstances.

The ruling

The court declined to lift the automatic stay of the LTB orders, given the Tenant's substantial compliance with the payment schedule. The Tenant's request for an extension to perfect her appeal was denied. New deadlines were set for the appeal process, with the hearing scheduled for February 27, 2023.
