Question on N12 compensation timing

Hi, I have issued an N12 to a tenant, and an L2 was filed when I submitted it to the Ontario Tribunal Portal.

Previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OntarioLandlord/s/qYs03ZtjZW

Reason for the N12 is completely legitimate, but as noted in the original post, the tenant immediately said they will take it to the LTB. The N12 was delivered Sept 29, rent is due on the 1st and the eviction date is Nov 30th.

The tenant paid Oct 1 rent. Am I supposed to offer that the tenant not pay November rent and keep it as compensation? Or do nothing, accept the rent if they send it? If I understand it correctly, I just need to provide the one months compensation to them prior to the Nov 30 eviction date, correct? What happens if I send them an Interac etransfer and they reject it?

Just want to cover my bases on the compensation while they assume they are planning to hold out for a hearing.

Also anyone know how long it’s taking to get L2 hearings? Mines in “scheduling” status per the portal having been initiated Oct 1. Thank you!
