- Parties: The appellants/respondents on motion were Aisan Kamalifar and Davan Dawkins. The respondent on appeal/moving party was Lisa Paterno. 

- Subject Matter: On June 20, 2024, the Landlord and Tenant Board terminated the appellants’ tenancy. The Board ordered them to vacate the rental premises owned by the respondent. The Board found that the appellants owed $15,000 in rental arrears as of June 30, 2024; that their monthly rent was $2,500; and that the eviction order could be voided by paying the respondent $15,286 by July 1, 2024. The appellants challenged the Board’s decision and obtained a certificate to stay the eviction order pending the appeal’s hearing. 

- Ruling: The court ruled in favour of the respondent on appeal and dismissed the appeal, given that the appellants failed to perfect the appeal. The court noted that the respondent alleged that the appellants continued not to pay rent since the Board dismissed their request for a review. The court also noted that it directed them to pay their monthly rent of $2,500 on Oct. 1, 2024 and on the first of each month pending the resolution of their appeal; directed them to perfect their appeal by Nov. 22, 2024; and lifted the stay of the eviction order since they failed to pay their October rent. 

- Date: The court released its decision on Nov. 29, 2024. 

- Venue: This was a case before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice - Divisional Court. 

- Amount: No costs award was specified.
