Landlord faces eviction trial amid ongoing health complaints
During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around ongoing eviction proceedings and health complaints related to a residential property. The speaker confirmed their willingness to sign an extension agreement, although they noted that such an extension is not necessary until the public hearing concludes.

The situation involves a tenant on the first floor who has not paid rent since June and is currently undergoing eviction proceedings. A mediation event led to requests for repairs, which were completed on October 12. However, subsequent complaints regarding heating issues prompted the tenant to contact the Board of Health for an inspection.

The Board of Health's representative, Miss de Grama, indicated that most issues had been resolved, but two repairs remain outstanding. The plumbing inspection revealed no problems, leading to an electrician's visit, which uncovered that wires had been improperly connected on the thermostat. The tenant has denied entry for further repairs, citing COVID-19 concerns, although they indicated a potential availability for entry on Tuesday.

The speaker has communicated these developments to the Board of Health, and a re-inspection is anticipated. An eviction trial is scheduled for December 6, with the property owner committed to addressing all necessary repairs. The speaker urged the board to consider the tenant's circumstances amid these proceedings.
