What happens if Filing for Non-Payment and Tenant Disappears

Annabelle Lee

As of right now, the tenant hasn't pay the most recent month's rent.
Reading through past posts, there seems to be two ways to deal with tenants for non-payments.

Option 1) Serve N4 and then L1
Option 2) Fill for L9 to collect rent the tenant owes

My question is:

- What happens if I file for an L9 and then the tenant disappears? Will the Landlord and Tenant Board still give the ruling to collect the rent that is outstanding? Or is that outside the Tenant Board?

- If I do get the ruling to be able to collect outstanding rent and the tenant disappears, can I file with Small Claims Court without knowing where the tenant's new address? Or do I go to a collection agency to try to get the money back?
