Citation: Masters v Sowa, 2021 CanLII 149859
File Number: TEL-17818-21
Hearing Date

Order Date
Dec 22, 2021
Tenancy End Date
Jan 2022
The tenancy is terminated effective January 31, 2022. The Tenants must move out by that date. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $3,230.39 for use of the unit from September 1, 2021 to December 22, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest, and $39.45 per day for use of the unit from December 23, 2021 until the move-out date. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by January 2, 2022, they will owe interest. If the unit is not vacated by January 31, 2022, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants because the Landlord requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenants remained in the unit after the termination date.
The Landlord testified she requires the rental unit for her own use, in order to allow her daughter and young children to move into her existing residence. The Landlord stated her daughter recently moved back from Alberta following a marriage breakdown and is in need of residential accommodations.
The Tenants challenged the Landlord's professed intent, stating the rental unit requires substantial repairs and would not be to the Landlord's liking.
Tenant Christine Arnold indicated that the tenant Allen Sowa had moved out of the rental unit in May 2021 and that she currently lives in the rental unit with her son who is in his late 20s. She stated that they are both on ODSP and would require additional time to find alternative accommodations.
