What happened

The Landlord filed an application to terminate the tenancy and collect rent arrears. The Tenants vacated the unit on March 31, 2025, prior to the hearing. At the hearing, one of the Tenants attended and disputed the amount of arrears, claiming a verbal agreement with the Landlord to never raise the rent. However, the Tenant provided no evidence to support this claim and had not filed their own application on the matter. The Board sided with the Landlord based on the evidence provided.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective March 31, 2025, the date the Tenants vacated the unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $5,167.70. This amount represents rent arrears up to the move-out date plus the application fee, less the rent deposit and the interest owed on that deposit.
