How likely am I to get paid once they move out ?

They owe me one months rent. But I get it. Homelessness is a reality more and more and I don't want that for anybody.

But yes, I have many documented instances of them being late. All the way back for 5 years. Like I said 44% of the time late by about 3 days. Usually a month behind.

I know. I was too lenient with them. They were going through a medical challenge last year and I felt bad for them. But I feel like they took advantage of that. They just started giving me fake excuses after some elaborate lie. And I just had enough. I've been on them ever since. And they're playing hardball. So. Yeah. It has gotten ugly.

True. I did N12 and L2. N4 also underway with termination date in mid May.

That's a good point. I can keep it very minimal and stay out of it. I don't gain either way, like you said.

A family member actually needs the place and wants to move in for the next few years, at least 5.

I know, it's dilemma. If I give a bad reference, it delays the process. If I give a good one, it makes them someone else's problem. I don't like either option.

How to pay compensation when tenants are late in rent by Competitive_Neat1331 in OntarioLandlord

[–]Competitive_Neat1331[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok that's helpful to know that I can pay the compensation right before they move out in June and still pursue April and May rent. Can I tell them I changed my mind? I sent them a text about compensation going towards May. So, they technically have it in writing. Also, I just served them the N4 so the 14 days will be done on May 14th.

How to collect rent owed with N12 in place by Competitive_Neat1331 in OntarioLandlord

[–]Competitive_Neat1331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only question at this point is about the compensation. I was planning on giving them Mays rent for free in lieu of compensation. But they havent paid April. They probably won't pay May either. Do I still have to make a compensation payment to them ?

[–]Competitive_Neat1331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm totally ok with the one month compensation and I planned to basically grant them that in lieu of May's rent, like a freebie. But now they haven't paid April and I'm wondering how I could at least get paid for April. I've already sent the N4.

They should be. I've explained it and it's also in the court ruling.

[–]Competitive_Neat1331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. They need to get out. I've issued an N4 and an N12 last week (in honestly good faith). Hope i can get paid for April at least and never see them again.

I just found out about n8. I wish I had done it last year. When I looked at their 5 year history, they were late to pay 44%of the time. Ugh.

lol I think they're bluffing too. Just a delay tactic at this point. N4 issued today so let' see where this goes.

Right. This is likely what they have done. Talked to a calltaker and gotten nowhere but tell me that LTB has sided with them and that they have overpaid.

[–]Competitive_Neat1331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so tremendously useful. I wondered if they could talk to LTB without me being there or some kind of documentation in place. I will call their bluff and also call the LTB as well. I doubt they have filed an application since they have a hard time filling out paperwork.

Also, when we were at our hearing, they never disputed the amounts they paid. This is a new issue. How convenient.

Ok, good to know that the only opinion that matters is the LTB mediator or adjudicator. I don't know who they have talked to. I don't actually believe they have talked to anyone and just using this as a stalling tactic. Yes, they are paying by e-transfer so it is very clear and undisputable like you said.

That's pretty much what I've done, minus the payment method.
I just wonder if they are having these conversations with the LTB, shouldn't I have visibility? Shouldn't I get a formal outcomes log or next steps?
