Landlord Wins Eviction Case Against Non-Paying Tenants in London, ON: Old Oak Properties Inc. v Harris and Landry 2021

Case Study

The Tenants have not paid the total rent they were required to pay for the period from September 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021. Because of the arrears, the Landlord served a Notice of Termination effective November 24, 2020. The Tenants are in possession of the rental unit. The outstanding rental arrears to October 31, 2021 total $21,484.40. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,823.60 from the Tenants and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. Interest on the rent deposit is owing to the Tenants for the period from January 29, 2020 to February 2, 2021. The Tenants paid $2,772.60 after the application was filed. The Tenant offered $500.00/month on top of the monthly rent payment in order to try and pay down the outstanding arrears, but the Landlord's Legal Representative did not accept this offer as it would still take more than forty-three months to pay back the arrears owing.
