No Hearing = Order of Possession

Hooray! No more waiting two to three months to evict the tenant who chooses not to pay the rent. If a tenant doesn’t pay the full rent within five days after receiving a (new!) 10 day Notice to End Tenancy, the landlord can apply for a “Direct Request” Order of Possession. The landlord must submit certain documents that will be reviewed by a Dispute Resolution Officer, who will then issue an Order of Possession in a couple of days, with no hearing being held.
