What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid N8 notice alleging the Tenants paid rent late 20 times in the last 24 months. The Tenants acknowledged their late payments but stated they have improved their behavior in the last 8 months.

The ruling

The tenancy will continue if the Tenants pay rent on time for the next 2 years. If the Tenants fail to comply, the Landlord can apply for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants. The Tenants must also pay the $186 application fee.
