Burns v. David B. Archer Co-operative Inc., 2018 HRTO 1850 (CanLII)

[5] The respondents submit that in TSC-01079-16, issued on November 3, 2017 (“TSC-01079-16”), at paragraphs 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 the LTB considered evidence pertaining to the applicant’s medical issues, and heard submissions on the respondents’ duty to accommodate. Her legal counsel at her LTB hearing made submissions in which he referenced the Code. The evidence considered included details pertaining to the applicant’s health issues and how they related to her ability to pay her regular housing charges. The LTB considered the applicant’s submissions and granted her relief from eviction; she was given a conditional order. It directed her to make certain payments on a periodic basis. However, in the event that she breached that order, the Respondent Co-op could apply to the LTB for an order in which it sought to evict her given her failure to comply.

[6] The applicant did not comply with the conditions in order TSC-01079-16. The Respondent Co-op filed an Application at the LTB in which it sought to evict the applicant as she had failed to make one of the payments specified in the order. In TSC-01707-14, issued on January 18, 2018 (“TSC-01707-14”), the LTB granted the application, and ordered the applicant to vacate the member unit. The applicant filed a motion to set aside order TSC-01707-14. In TSC-01707-18-SA, issued on April 5, 2018 (“TSC-01707-18-SA”), the LTB set aside order TSC-01707-14. Specifically, the LTB considered the applicant’s personal circumstances including her disability, and family issues, and ability to pay her housing charges. The LTB ordered that the payment plan in TSC-01079-16 be restored. Consequently, the applicant was granted relief from eviction and is entitled to remain in her housing.

Grenier v. Kitchener Housing Inc., 2017 HRTO 753 (CanLII)

[4] The respondent responded to the noted conduct by filing an application with the Landlord and Tenant Board (“LTB”) seeking to evict the applicant. The hearing for eviction of the applicant was held at the LTB on November 16 and December 13, 2016. The adjudicator found that the respondent had established grounds for termination of the tenancy. However, the January 13, 2017 eviction order granted conditional relief from eviction due to the applicant’s mental health issues. One condition was that the applicant refrain from collecting and/or displaying syringes on the grounds of the complex.
