I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), including the impact of COVID-19 on the parties and whether the Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenants, and I find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act.

The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust:  $6,241.80 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 2023.
