    Must a Tenant pay Rent while an eviction claim is in court?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Filing a legal claim to evict a Tenant does not grant the Tenant a "rent holiday". The Tenant remains under a strict legal obligation to continue paying the Rent for the entire duration that the claim is being heard. This obligation persists until a final award is rendered and the eviction is officially enforced. This ensures that Landlords do not suffer further financial loss while seeking a legal remedy through the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDSC) for a breach of the tenancy agreement.
