Landlord And E.S. Tenant F.A. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict E. S. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. (L1 Application) The Landlord also applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Tenant has been persistently late in paying the Tenant's rent. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date. (L2 Application) This L1/L2 application was heard by videoconference on March 31, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, Bruce Parsons, attended the hearing. As of 9:56 a.m., the Tenant was not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with notice of this hearing by the LTB. There was no record of a request to adjourn the hearing. As a result, the hearing proceeded with only the Landlord's evidence. Determinations: L1 Application 1.

The Tenant did not void the notice by paying the amount of rent arrears owing by the termination date in the N4 Notice or before the date the application was filed. 2. The Tenant was in possession of the rental unit on the date the application was filed. Order Page 1 of 3 3. The Tenant vacated the rental unit on May 9, 2022.
