Homestead Land Holdings Linited v Kondo

Landlord argued an additional payment plan would be prejudicial as they were not satisfied the Tenant would pay as promised.

Landlord was sympathetic to the Tenant's needs and concerns, but opposed another payment plan as the Tenant had only paid $1,400 since November 2021 and owed $21,317 as of March 31, 2023.

Tenant proposed another payment plan to pay the rent on the 1st plus an additional $500 per month until the arrears were paid in full, arguing they would otherwise be homeless.

Tenant explained they almost died in 2020 from septicemia and gangrene, had to have a toe amputated, and attended rehabilitation due to a medication dependency. Tenant receives nursing care 3 times per week and believed they would receive a large lump sum from their income tax return, but did not file until the end of November.
