'They are ignoring us,' says the woman, who still hasn't received payment from the property owner.

A Kelowna woman says the owner of a home who evicted her to offer the property for short-term rentals is now stiffing her on a monetary judgment handed down by the Residential Tenancy Branch .

According to documents filed with the arbitrator, De Witt was given two months' notice to move effective May 1, 2022 by Bedi when he purchased the home stating he was moving into the home. The owners testified at the hearing they did occupy the home from May 2022 until August 2023 before renting it out as an Airbnb then entering a short-term rental contract with students in September 2023."I find the purchaser did not comply with the act as they did not occupy the premises for at least six months if they did at all," the arbitrator wrote.

"While the purchaser refers to other sick family members and had to rent because of this issue, the purchaser provided no documentary evidence to support this. Further, even if I accepted this to be true, which I do not, it would not meet the requirements of the Act and would be a personal choice."
