Dispute Summary
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's failure to pay market rent since July 2023. The Tenant lost his subsidized rent in June 2023 and his rent increased to market rent of $707 per month. The Tenant has not paid the market rent since July 2023.
Determinations
- The Tenant failed to pay the market rent of $707 on January 1, 2024 as required by the previous order.
- The application was filed within 30 days of the breach.
- The Landlord made efforts to help the Tenant regain the rent subsidy, but the Tenant was uncooperative.
- The matter was adjourned twice to allow the Tenant time to comply, but he did not.
- It would be unfair to grant relief from eviction.
Arguments and Actions
Landlord
Actions
The Landlord has made many efforts to provide the Tenant with the help he needs to regain the rent subsidy he lost.
Tenant
Actions
The Tenant lost his subsidized rent when he failed to provide updated documents to the Landlord in June 2023. Since July 2023, he has not been paying the market rent.
Aggravating Factors
The Tenant is simply not being cooperative and does not care.
Decision Summary
The tenancy is terminated, and the Tenant must vacate the unit by September 6, 2024. If the unit is not vacated by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement. The Tenant owes the Landlord $5,470 in rent arrears and application fees, less any rent paid after August 9, 2024. If the full amount is not paid by September 6, 2024, the Tenant will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
