What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The Landlord claimed the total amount of $48,781.94, which represents the arrears of rent for the period ending October 9, 2022 ($48,595.94), plus the application filing fee ($186.00). However, the amount claimed by the Landlord exceeded the monetary jurisdiction of the Board, which is limited to $35,000.00. The Landlord agreed to waive any amount that exceeds the Board's monetary jurisdiction.

The ruling

The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $35,186.00, which includes rent arrears owing up to December 31, 2022 and the cost of the application. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before January 20, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
