Dispute Summary
Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenants did not void by paying the arrears.
Determinations
- Tenants have not paid the total rent they were required to pay for the period from August 1, 2021 to January 31, 2022
- Landlords served a Notice of Termination effective September 30, 2021 due to the arrears
- Tenants are in possession of the rental unit
- Lawful monthly rent is $2,780.00
- Tenants have made no payments since the application was filed
- Landlords incurred $49.00 in NSF cheque charges and $140.00 in related administration charges
- Landlords collected a $2,780.00 rent deposit from the Tenants, which is still being held
- Interest on the rent deposit is owing to the Tenants for the period from July 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021
Case Study
The Tenants disputed the amount of the arrears, stating that they made additional payments after the application was filed. However, they did not provide any documentation to support this assertion prior to the hearing. The Tenants' request to submit additional documentation at the hearing was denied as it was contrary to the Board's rules. The Tenants also requested relief from eviction in the form of a payment plan, but this was found to be unfair given the amount of arrears, the short duration of the tenancy, and the fact that no payments had been made since October 2021.

Decision Summary
The tenancy is terminated effective February 7, 2022. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $13,580.01, which includes rent arrears, NSF cheque charges, and application fees, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $91.40 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 28, 2022 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by February 7, 2022, they will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by February 7, 2022, the Landlords may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement.
