What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants requested an adjournment of the hearing because they lacked a fixed mailing address and the means to pay the arrears, which the Board denied. The Tenants had already vacated the rental unit on July 31, 2025, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective July 31, 2025, the date the Tenants moved out. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $4,340.03 by September 15, 2025. This amount accounts for total rent arrears and the filing fee, minus the last month's rent deposit, deposit interest, and a partial payment made after the application was filed.
