    Does filing an eviction claim stop the tenant's obligation to pay rent?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Filing a legal claim for eviction does not exempt the tenant from their financial duties. The tenant is legally bound to continue paying the Rent for the entire period the claim is being heard by the tribunal. This obligation persists until a final award is rendered and the eviction is officially enforced. This rule protects landlords from further financial losses while they seek a judicial remedy for a tenant's breach of the tenancy agreement.
