Landlord A. J.N.A.L.K. Tenants Hazelview Property Services Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict J.N.A.L.K. (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 19, 2023. The Landlord was represented at the hearing by Sean Beard. The Tenants were 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: 1. The Landlord served the Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non- payment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenants 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. As of the hearing date, the Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,689.12. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $55.53. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,689.12 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenants have paid $15,400.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to January 31, 2023, are $468.44. 7.

The rent deposit can only be applied to the last rental period of the tenancy if the tenancy is terminated. 9.

I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), A. find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order A. continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust:  $2,343.56 if the payment is made on or before February 28, 2023.

The Tenants may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenants have paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after March 11, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenant may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenants do not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenant must move out of the rental unit on or before March 11, 2023 5. As of the date of the hearing, the amount of the rent deposit A. interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit exceeds the arrears of rent, compensation A. the cost of filing the application the Landlord is entitled to by $1,745.44. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenant $55.53 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 20, 2023 until the date the Tenants move out of the unit. 6. The Landlord or the Tenants shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 7. If the unit is not vacated on or before March 11, 2023, then starting March 12, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 8. Upon receipt of this order, the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) is directed to give vacant possession of the unit to the Landlord on or after March 12, 2023.
