All parties were affirmed to be truthful in their testimony and confirmed that the Notice of Dispute Resolution Proceeding package and evidence were served as required.  \nI have reviewed all oral and written evidence before me that met the requirements of the Rules of Procedure. However, only the evidence relevant to the issues and findings in this matter are described in this decision.  \nPreliminary Matter  \nAt the outset of the hearing, the names of the parties were clarified and it was noted that the name of one of the Tenants was entered incorrectly on the application as the first and last names were reversed. The application was amended in accordance with Section 64(3)(c) of the Act to include the correct name of the Tenant.  \nIssue to be Decided  \nIs the Landlord entitled to a Monetary Order for compensation?  \nIs the Landlord entitled to recover the filing fee for the Application for Dispute Resolution? Background and Evidence  \nThe Landlord provided the following testimony regarding the tenancy. On April 14, 2018, the Tenants signed an Application for Tenancy for a four bedroom rental unit after attending an open house. The rental unit was advertised at $3,500 .00 per month, but the amount agreed upon was $3,625 .00. As the Tenants had brought up concerns regarding the age of the stove and the fridge, it was agreed that these appliances would be replaced and as a result, the monthly rent increased to $3,625 .00. The security deposit was set at $1,812 .50.  \nThe Landlord testified that a Tenancy Agreement was signed on April 20, 2018. The Application for Tenancy and the Tenancy Agreement were both submitted into evidence. The Landlord confirmed that the security deposit was not paid by the Tenants and neither was any amount towards the rent. The tenancy was set to begin on May 28, 2018 and was for a fixed term of one year, to end on May 31, 2019. The Tenants were to begin paying rent on June 1, 2018.  \nThe Landlord stated that on April 24, 2018, he received an email from the Tenants cancelling the tenancy. The Landlord testified that an official letter ending the tenancy was signed on April 24, 2018 and received at his office on April 27, 2018. The email and the notice to end tenancy letter were submitted in evidence. The letter stated that the Tenants did not intend to take possession of the rental unit and that they were providing one month notice to cancel the tenancy.  \nThe Landlord testified that after receiving notice from the Tenants, he tried to re-rent the unit right away by contacting potential tenants who had previously been interested in the unit. He submitted that they found new tenants for the property for a tenancy starting June 15, 2018 at a monthly rent of $3,500 .00. The Landlord submitted in evidence emails and text messages with potential new tenants.  \nThe Landlord is claiming $1,900 .00 in liquidated damages as stated in a clause on the Tenancy Agreement, as well as $1,812 .50 as compensation for half of the rent for June 2018, given that they were not able to re-rent the unit until June 15, 2018.  \nThe Tenants testified that they attended a viewing of the rental unit on April 14, 2018 which ended up being an open house with over 20 people in attendance. The Tenants stated that they felt rushed and that the Landlord was showing the other rental unit in the home, so was not available to show them around or answer questions. Although they wanted more information on the rental unit, they submitted the Application for Tenancy on April 14, 2018. This is when they agreed to pay $3,625 .00 per mo","cbCaipYZe1mo0xiA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipYZe1mo0xiA","pdf",42342,6,"English","# Introduction\n# Preliminary Matter\n# Issue to be Decided\n# Background and Evidence","[{\"question\":\"What was the landlord seeking from the Residential Tenancy Act application?\",\"answer\":\"The landlord sought a Monetary Order for compensation and also requested recovery of the filing fee paid for the dispute resolution application.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the tenant name issue handled at the start of the hearing?\",\"answer\":\"The parties’ names were clarified, and an incorrect tenant name in the application was corrected through an amendment under Section 64(3)(c) of the Act.\"},{\"question\":\"What compensation did the landlord claim for the cancelled tenancy?\",\"answer\":\"The landlord claimed liquidated damages under a tenancy agreement clause and also sought half the rent for June 2018, based on an inability to re-rent until June 15, 2018.\"}]","Decision - Dispute Codes MNDCL, FFL - Compensation and Filing Fee | PDF"]
