  • Background: Neilson Creek Housing Co-operative Inc. sought a writ of possession against Erin Vella and her daughter Emily-Rose Ellis, who occupied a co-op unit without being members.
  • Facts:
    • Vella and Ellis moved into the unit with Tony Vella, a member, in 2018.
    • Their occupancy was initially sanctioned under a Long-Term Guest Agreement, which expired in October 2022.
  • Issues/Main Discussion: The court had to decide if it was fair to issue a writ of possession, considering the occupants were not co-op members and the unit needed for a long waiting list of families.
  • Ruling: The court issued a writ of possession effective 60 days from the decision date, allowing Vella and Ellis additional time to find alternative housing.
  • Amount Awarded: The decision did not specify monetary damages but focused on the eviction process and timelines.
