What happened

Tenant was evicted by order of the Landlord and Tenant Board. Tenant appealed to Divisional Court, but the appeal was quashed and the eviction order was enforced. Tenant claims landlord is withholding her personal property and a dog. Landlord agreed to return personal property but disputes ownership of the dog.

The ruling

The court ordered the landlord to return the tenant's personal property without requiring payment. The tenant was directed to retrieve her belongings from a storage unit. The court declined to order return of a dog living with the landlord's family, directing the tenant to pursue any claim in small claims court. The parties were ordered to seek leave from the case management judge before taking any further court proceedings.
