Lisa represented the landlord in an L1 application for non-payment of rent totalling $7,396.75. The tenant attempted to negotiate a "cash-for-keys" arrangement prior to the hearing, demanding compensation in exchange for vacating the unit. Lisa advised the landlord to reject the demand and proceed to hearing. The Board awarded the full arrears and issued an eviction order, with no cash payment required to the tenant.
