What happened

The Landlords filed applications for rent arrears (L1), substantial interference, and persistent late payment (L2). As the Tenants had already vacated the rental unit, the L2 application was dismissed as moot. The hearing proceeded on the L1 application. The Board amended the application to reflect the correct amount of arrears. The Tenants' attempt to raise maintenance issues under section 82 was denied because they failed to provide the required advance notice to the Landlords. The Board determined the tenancy terminated on the date the Tenants last accessed the unit and ordered them to pay the outstanding rent arrears and the application fee.

The ruling

The Landlords' L2 application is dismissed as the Tenants have vacated. The tenancy is terminated effective August 16, 2024. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords $8,782.05 for rent arrears up to the move-out date and the application filing fee, after deducting the rent deposit and its accrued interest. The Tenants' attempt to raise maintenance issues was procedurally dismissed.
