(the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict G. G. A. H. M. (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on June 19, 2023. Only the Landlord A. the Landlord’s representative, Dale Skvereckas attended the hearing. As of 9:53 a.m. the Tenants were not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with the notice of this hearing by the Board. As a result, the hearing proceeded with only the Landlord's evidence. The Landlord’s claim for arrears exceeds the Board’s monetary jurisdiction of $35,000.00. The Landlord indicated a desire to proceed with the hearing of the application A. voluntarily waived the portion of the claim that exceeds the Board’s monetary jurisdiction. Determinations: 1. The Landlord served the Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Nonpayment 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.

I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA), including the impact of COVID-19 on the parties A. whether the Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant, A. find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act.
