What happened
The Landlords applied for termination of tenancy and eviction due to rent arrears. The Tenant moved out on August 31, 2024, after receiving an N4 notice. The primary dispute during the hearing concerned three specific payments from 2019 that the Tenant claimed were made via e-transfer but the Landlords denied receiving. The Board evaluated bank records and e-transfer confirmations from both parties to determine the accurate balance of arrears.
The ruling
The tenancy was terminated effective August 31, 2024. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlords $7,160.97, which represents $8,848.60 in rent arrears and the $186.00 filing fee, less the $1,700.00 rent deposit and $173.63 in interest on that deposit. The Board credited the Tenant for one disputed $1,700.00 payment from 2019 after reviewing e-transfer confirmations.
