Vacant Possession

TEL-82549-17 (Re), 2017 CanLII 93931 (ON LTB)

5. The Occupants hired a moving truck for several hours, they had help from friends to move their belongings, they signed a new lease for a new apartment and they left the rental unit. The fact that they left behind some garbage and unwanted items does not mean that they did not completely move out.

6. The second dispute between the parties is when, if ever, the Occupants returned the keys to the Landlord.

17. The fact that the Occupants slid the keys under the door means that they no longer were able to gain access to the unit. That is the very essence of giving up vacant possession.
