What happened
The Landlord applied for eviction due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payments. A default order was initially issued because the Tenant was incarcerated and unable to attend the first hearing. The Tenant filed a review request, which was granted on the grounds of natural justice. However, upon reviewing the merits, the Board found significant arrears and persistent lateness, leading to the termination of the tenancy despite the Tenant's request for relief based on her recent incarceration and plans for future employment.
The ruling
The LTB granted the Tenant's request for a review of a previous default order but ultimately ordered the termination of the tenancy. The Tenant owes $7,540.98 after credits for her deposit and interest. The tenancy will terminate on May 31, 2025. If the Tenant fails to vacate or pay the full amount by that date, the Landlord can enforce the eviction through the Sheriff.
