What happened

The Landlord filed an application to evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent. The Tenant, who works in the marketing industry, admitted to the arrears, attributing his financial difficulties to the industry's downturn caused by AI services. He requested an extension to vacate by May 31, 2025. The Landlord, a first-time homebuyer, opposed the request, citing his own financial strain and a history of non-payment issues with the Tenant, including a previous L1 application.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenant voids the order by paying either $6,161.00 by May 31, 2025, or $7,356.00 by June 9, 2025. If the Tenant fails to do so, they must vacate the unit by June 9, 2025, and pay the Landlord $5,241.03 for arrears up to the hearing date, plus $39.29 per day for compensation from May 8, 2025, until they move out. The Tenant's request for an extended move-out date was denied.
