Payment to be made in 12 instalments: eleven payments of $500.00 and a final payment of $190.53, spanning July to October 2026.
Default on any payment renders the entire outstanding balance immediately due with post-judgment interest; landlord retains right to collect under the order.

Landlord Debora Patterson applied under Section 88.2 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 for recovery of out-of-pocket expenses caused by the tenants' failure to pay utility costs.
Tenants Ashley and Alex Lehunewycz acknowledged the debt of $5,690.53 accumulating to November 19, 2025.
The matter was resolved on consent before the hearing commenced on November 20, 2025.

Tenants acknowledged failure to pay utility costs as required under the tenancy agreement and admitted owing $5,690.53.
Parties mutually agreed to a 12-instalment payment plan running from July 10, 2026 to October 16, 2026.
The payment plan is not LTB-enforceable; however, default triggers immediate acceleration of the full balance plus post-judgment interest under s. 207(7) of the Act.

Tenants owed $5,690.53 in unpaid utility costs to November 19, 2025, as required under the tenancy agreement.
Parties reached a consent agreement before the hearing; the order reflects amended terms confirmed by email on December 1 and December 4, 2025.
A voluntary payment plan was established from July 10, 2026 to October 16, 2026, though it is not enforceable by the LTB.
If the full amount is not paid per the plan, the entire balance becomes immediately due with post-judgment interest.
