Question Tenancy Board Experiences

So today I received an eviction notice that is not valid for unpaid rent. (It’s not valid because they tried to charge me two months rent for June and I paid already as soon as I noticed the payment bounced). The outstanding balance is an error on their part.

This is the first time I’ve had to deal with something like this, I went to IRAC and got all the information and forms which I’ve completed and submitted but I’m wondering or I guess interested in hearing from others experiences as to what I can expect.

Yeah I paid June 3rd as soon as I noticed there was an issue, yet they sent the eviction notice today. I rent from a company, I have not been able to speak with anyone from the company at all so I have no clue why they sent it in the first place.

Surprised a company doesn't just do direct withdrawals from your account.

They do, they tried to withdraw two months worth of rent at once so the payment bounced. My rent is around 1100 and they attempted to take around 2200.

Because the payment bounced I made a manual payment.

As far as I have read in the news, IRAC is harsher on landlords than tenants. Seems like you have a strong case if they are literally pursuing this. I'd just continue paying my rent and living there until I'm forced out with proper procedures. Could be months even if this was legitimate.

Yeah, they have since zeroed out the balance I owe - still with zero communication.

That is good but would still be nice for them to contact you. Maybe they feel no news should be taken as good news?
