What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent and for a monetary order for the arrears. A primary issue at the hearing was the lawful rent amount, as the Landlord had previously issued a rent increase that did not comply with the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The Board ruled the rent increase was invalid. The Tenant had already vacated the rental unit prior to the order being issued. The final order addresses the monetary amount owed by the Tenant based on the correct lawful rent.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective March 22, 2025, the date the Tenant vacated the unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $6,573.31. This amount includes rent arrears calculated using the lawful rent of $3,300.00 (as the Landlord's rent increase was deemed invalid), plus the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and the interest owed on it.
