What happened

The Landlord applied for termination of tenancy and eviction due to rent arrears. The Tenants vacated the property on September 4, 2025, before the final hearing. The main issue was the calculation of arrears; the Landlord claimed $16,399.72, while the Tenants asserted they only owed one month's rent ($3,800.00). The Tenants provided inconsistent spreadsheets as evidence and failed to corroborate alleged cash payments with banking records.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 4, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $16,585.72 by December 9, 2025. This amount consists of $16,399.72 in rent arrears and $186.00 for the filing fee. The Board rejected the Tenants' claims of having paid more rent due to contradictory spreadsheets and lack of supporting bank statements.
