The tenant appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board eviction order, triggering an automatic stay.
At a case management conference, the court considered whether to impose terms on the stay.
The tenant claimed he owed no rent because he was being held in the premises by CSIS.
Finding this claim highly unlikely and indicative of gaming the system, the court ordered the tenant to pay $23,624.72 in arrears and $2,500 in ongoing monthly rent to maintain the stay of eviction.
