This application was heard by videoconference on March 27, 2023. The Landlord Z B., the Landlord’s representative A Golabgir A. the Tenant attended the hearing. Determinations: 1. The Landlord served the Tenant with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment 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.

Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $36.16. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,100.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The Landlord’s evidence is that the rent arrears owing to April 7, 2023 are $15,400.00.
