As of 1:52 p.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 Nonpayment of Rent (N4 Notice).

As of the hearing date, the Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,070.71. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $35.20. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,070.71 x 12, divided by 365 days. Order Page: 1 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-055249-22 5.
