And O.K. Tenant Liuna Hamilton Association c/o DMS Property Management Ltd. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict O.K. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The Landlord also claimed charges related to NSF cheques. This application was heard by videoconference on May 8, 2023. Only the Landlord’s representative Joshua Labbe, licensed paralegal attended the hearing. As of 3:18 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 Landlord's evidence. 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. As of the hearing date, the Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,320.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month.
