Landlords Gail Anne L. And B.S.D. Tenant D.R.L. and Gail Anne L. (the 'Landlords') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict B.S.D. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on October 25, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, S. Pearson attended the hearing. As of 1:30 p.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 Landlords' evidence. Determinations: 1. The Landlords served the Tenant with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Nonpayment of Rent (N4 Notice). 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. As of the hearing date, the Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $2,400.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month.

As noted, the Tenant did not attend the hearing of this matter and thus I did not have the opportunity to hear their evidence regarding their circumstances. or to dispute the Landlord’s application for an eviction order. 10. 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 Landlords attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant and 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 between the Landlords and the Tenant is terminated unless the Tenant voids this order. 2. The Tenant may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlords or to the LTB in trust: • $62,586.00 if the payment is made on or before November 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. This amount exceeds the monetary jurisdiction of the Board. This is an amount that the Tenants can choose to pay if they choose not to vacate the rental unit. The Board is not ordering this amount to be paid. This amount is optional and only required if the Tenants elect to remain in the rental unit. OR • $64,986.00 if the payment is made on or before December 11, 2023.
