The Board has no jurisdiction to intervene with the Tenant's rent-geared-to-income (RGI) eligibility decision made under the Housing Services Act, 2011. The Board ordered the tenancy terminated unless the Tenant voids the order by paying the outstanding rent arrears of up to $11,634 by January 6, 2025. If the Tenant does not void the order, they must vacate the unit by January 6, 2025.
The delayed eviction date will allow the Tenant additional time to either provide the documents requested by their Landlord to potentially reinstate their subsidy or to seek financial assistance in order to pay the arrears and continue the tenancy. In the alternative, the Tenant will have additional time to search for new housing accommodations.
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 N4 Notice, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had been residing in the rental unit since 2006 and relied on a rent subsidy to meet their rent obligations.
Landlord testified that they have contacted the Tenant on multiple occasions to try to establish a payment plan and to request the missing documents to allow for a review of the Tenant's eligibility for rent-geared-to-income assistance.
Tenant argued that they should not have lost their rent subsidy and that the monthly rent they are being charged is incorrect as a result of the lost subsidy.
Tenant has been residing in the rental unit since 2006 and relies on the rent subsidy to meet their rent obligations. Tenant acknowledged receiving the Landlord's correspondences but thought they had already provided the required documents.
