The applicant landlords sought an order terminating the respondents' tenancy, evicting them, and awarding $47,300 in unpaid rent.
Because the rent arrears exceeded the Landlord and Tenant Board's monetary jurisdiction, the landlords brought the application in the Superior Court of Justice pursuant to section 207(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
The tenants requested an adjournment and argued the application should be dismissed under section 83(3) of the Act, alleging outstanding repairs and retaliatory motives.
The court denied the adjournment and granted the application, finding no evidence to support the tenants' allegations and noting their repeated failure to pay rent or provide evidence of payment.
