What happened

The Landlord originally obtained a consent order for rent arrears. After the Tenant breached the terms of the repayment plan (specifically failing to pay August rent and arrears installments), the Landlord obtained an ex-parte eviction order. The Tenant filed a motion to set aside that eviction order, citing financial hardship due to his business suffering.

The ruling

The Tenant's motion to set aside the eviction order is denied as the Tenant admitted to breaching the repayment plan and subsequent rent obligations. The stay of the eviction order issued on August 13, 2025, will be lifted on October 31, 2025, providing the Tenant with a short extension to vacate the premises due to unforeseen financial hardship.
