Milanovski v Zuniga

Decision Summary

The LTB ordered the termination of the tenancy effective October 31, 2025. The Landlord succeeded in proving that her daughter genuinely intends to occupy the unit. However, the Board granted the Tenant a delay in eviction until the end of October 2025 to allow more time to find alternative housing. If the Tenant stays beyond the move-out date, they must pay $26.30 daily compensation.
