Landlord And P.N.S. Tenants Kulmaninder Kaur R.T. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict P.N.S. and Kulmaninder Kaur (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on September 28, 2023. Only the Landlord and the Landlord’s support person Thanuja T. attended the hearing. As of 10:28a.m.,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. At the hearing, the Landlord advised the Board that the Landlord collected a rent deposit from the Tenants in the amount of $1,350.00 on February 1, 2022. I have exercised my discretion under section 201(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the “Act”) to amend the application to reflect that the Landlord collected a rent deposit from the Tenants in the amount of $1,350 on February 1, 2022. There is no prejudice to the Tenants from this amendment because it concerns a minor typographical error. 3. The Tenants were in possession of the rental unit on the date the application was filed. 4. The Tenants vacated the rental unit on July 1, 2023. Rent arrears are calculated up to the date the Tenants vacated the unit. Order Page 1 of 3  File Number: LTB-L-039478-23 5. The lawful rent is $1,350.00. It was due on the 1st day of each month. 6.

The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 9. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,350.00 from the Tenants and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. The rent deposit is applied to the arrears of rent because the tenancy terminated. 10. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $47.71 is owing to the Tenants for the period from February 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated as of July 1, 2023, the date the Tenants moved out of the rental unit. 2. The Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $1,532.67. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date the Tenants moved out of the rental unit and the cost of filing the application. The rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit is deducted from the amount owing by the Tenants. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before October 23, 2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from October 24, 2023 at 7.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
