One of my tenants filed an application against me at the Landlord and Tenant Board but we have since reached an agreement and the tenant said she would cancel the hearing. I checked the file status on the Board’s website and it still states the file is open. How do I contact the Board to close the file?

我的一位租户向房东和租户委员会提出了一项针对我的上诉，但我们后来达成了协议，租户说她将取消听证会。但是我检查了委员会网站上的文件状态，上面诉讼文件仍然显示是打开的。如何联系委员会关闭诉讼文件？

When an application is filed, it is up to the applicant to ask the Board to withdraw their application if they do not wish to proceed. The request to withdraw should be done in writing. If the application is not withdrawn, the hearing will still be held. You should contact your tenant to ask that she notify the Board to withdraw her application. Otherwise, you would have to attend the hearing and if the tenant does not show up for the hearing then the Board will dismiss the application.

当提出诉讼申请后，如果申请人不想继续诉讼，则由申请人要求委员会撤回其申请。撤回请求应以书面形式出具。如果不撤回申请，则听证会仍将如期举行。你应该联系你的租户，让她通知委员会撤回她的申请。否则，你必须出席听证会。同时如果租户没有出席听证会，那么委员会将驳回诉讼申请。

I would like to make installment payments to my tenant. Would this be something that I could ask for at the LTB?

我想让我的租户分期付款。我能向LTB提出这样的要求的吗？

The Board may consider this arrangement, but generally, you should first get a sense of how your situation is being viewed by the Member during the hearing before you even think about the possibility of paying the tenant anything. The tenant may not be able to prove his or her case.

董事会可能会考虑这一安排，但一般来说，你应该先了解一下成员们在听证会上是如何看待你的情况的，再考虑是否需要让房客支付任何费用。因为租户可能无法证明自己的情况。

My tenant has filed a claim against me after I moved into the property for my own use. I had to rent a room because I was facing financial difficulties. What can I do to defend myself?

在我搬入自用房后，我的租户向我提出了索赔要求。因为我正面临经济困难，所以不得不租一个房间。我能做些什么来保护自己？

It seems that the former tenant may have filed a T5 application claiming that you had given her a notice that you required the unit she occupied to live in for your own use in bad faith. For this to succeed, she would have to prove that you did not truly intend to occupy her rental unit as promised in the notice.

The test to be met in the Residential Tenancies is in Section 57 (1) (a)

“57 (1) The Board may make an order described in subsection (3) if, on application by a former tenant of a rental unit, the Board determines that,

(a) the landlord gave a notice of termination under section 48 in bad faith, the former tenant vacated the rental unit as a result of the notice or as a result of an application to or order made by the Board based on the notice, and no person referred to in clause 48 (1) (a), (b), (c) or (d) occupied the rental unit within a reasonable time after the former tenant vacated the rental unit;…”

This particular situation (involving bad faith application to the Board) is fairly common, especially where the tenant was not happy to move. If your tenant wins their case, then you could be ordered to pay her the difference between the tenant’s old rent and their new rent for up to a year.

You have to show your situation in context. This means explaining your timeline of when you moved in, and if the move in was delayed, what the reason was for the delay. If you rented one room for financial reasons, then you can show this and your expenses during the hearing (the tenant would also have to be given a copy of anything you introduce as evidence).

看情况你的前房客可能已经提交了T5申请，声称你给了她一个终止租约的通知，说你恶意要求将她居住的房子供你自己使用。她要想申诉成功就必须证明你并不打算按照终止租约通知中的说明来使用她现居住的租赁单元。

住宅租赁须符合的标准记载于《租务法》第57（1）（a）条

“57（1）条规定，在租赁单位的前房客提出申请后，委员会可作出第（3）条所述的决定：

（a）房东恶意地根据第48条发出终止通知，前承租人因该通知或根据该通知向委员会提出申请而搬出租赁单元，且第48（1）（a）、（b）、（c）或（d）条所指的任何人在此后的合理时间内均不得占用前房客腾出的租赁单元…”

这种特殊情况（即涉及恶意向房东和租户委员会提出申请）相当普遍，尤其是在租户不愿意搬家的情况下。如果你的租户赢了官司，那么你可能会被命令向租客支付最长一年的旧租金和新租金之间的差额。

你必须把你的处境和背景联系起来。这意味着你要解释你搬进自住房的具体时间，如果搬进来的进程被耽搁了，那么你需要解释耽搁的原因是什么。如果你因为经济原因租了一个房间，那么你可以在听证会上出示这一点和你所支出的费用（租户必须提供你介绍的任何东西的副本作为证据）。
