Berardi v Leger

The Landlord's Representative sought a standard order and submitted that the Tenants have made no good faith payments and the Landlord has no confidence the Tenants will follow through with their proposed payment plan.

The Tenants sought to preserve the tenancy and proposed paying the Landlord the new rent as it comes due and $1,578.60 each month towards the arrears until the arrears are paid in full.

Tenants testified that their son had a work-related accident in August 2023 and Shawn Leger lost his job. From September 2023 to April 2024, Shawn Leger worked as an apprentice with unstable hours and lower pay. As of April 2, 2024, Shawn Leger has returned to full-time work and earns $44.97 per hour. Jaden Million was a stay-at-home mom and despite her efforts, she was not able to secure employment until February 18, 2024. The Tenants testified that their son has since recovered and started working again and would contribute $800.00 to the household income. The Tenants testified that they have consistently received $1,975.00 a month for child tax benefits but have struggled since September 2023 to make ends meet. The Tenants testified that they have three other children who attend school in the area, and one child has mental health issues.
