The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent is granted, subject to the Tenant making payments towards the arrears. The Tenant is ordered to pay $4,857.02 in arrears and costs, in installments over 4 years. If the Tenant fails to make any payment, the Landlord may apply to terminate the tenancy. The Landlord is also ordered to replace the closet doors and rails in the Tenant's unit.
Tenant's disability and financial circumstances
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The tenant was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.
Landlord argued Tenant did not formally request accommodation and is responsible for closet door damage.
Landlord's agent testified that bathroom hole is a required service hatch, toilet has been fixed, and Tenant refused pest control access.
Tenant argued Landlord failed to maintain rental unit in good repair and did not accommodate his disability-related needs for pest control.
Tenant testified about issues with bathroom wall, toilet, closet doors, buzzer, and pest infestation. Tenant hired his own pest control company due to Landlord's ineffective treatment.
