Order of The Director of Residential Tenancy
Docket 25-638 August 28, 2025
INTRODUCTION
[1] This decision determines an application filed with the Residential Tenancy Office (“Rental Office”) under the Residential Tenancy Act (“Act”).
[2] The Landlord seeks an order against the Tenant for August 2025 rent, in the amount of $1,530.54.
DISPOSITION
[3] I find that the Tenant must pay the Landlord August 2025 rent, in the amount of $1,530.54.
BACKGROUND
[4] The Unit is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in a twelve-unit building.
[5] The Tenant and a former owner of the Unit entered into a written, fixed-term tenancy agreement for the Unit from October 16, 2021 to October 31, 2022. At end of the fixed-term the tenancy continued on a monthly basis. A security deposit of $1,500.00 was paid before the Tenant moved into the Unit. Rent of $1,580.54 is due on the first day of the month.
[6] On December 1, 2023 the Landlord commenced operating the Unit and the tenancy continued.
[7] The parties had a prior Rental Office dispute.
[8] On June 23, 2025 the Rental Office issued Orders LD25-223 and LD25-224, which are included in the evidence. The Orders ended the tenancy effective June 30, 2025 and awarded the Landlord rent owing. The Tenant paid the rent owing balance and the Landlord did not enforce the Orders.
[9] On July 4, 2025 the Landlord’s representative (“Representative”) served the Tenant with a Form 4(A) Eviction Notice with an effective date of July 24, 2025 (“Notice”) for non-payment of July rent, in the amount of $1,580.54.
[10] On July 24, 2025 the Representative filed a Form 2(B) Landlord Application to Determine Dispute (“Application”) with the Rental Office seeking vacant possession of the Unit and for Sheriff Services to put the Landlord in possession, which is determined in Order LD25-322. The Application also seeks rent owing, which is determined in this decision.
[11] On August 12, 2025 the Rental Office emailed the parties notice of a teleconference hearing scheduled for August 28, 2025, along with a copy of the Application.
[12] On August 21, 2025 the Rental Office emailed the parties a 28-page evidence package.
[13] On August 28, 2025 the Tenant and the Representative joined the teleconference hearing for determination of the Application. The parties confirmed that all evidence submitted to the Rental Office was included in the evidence package.
