Let’s break down how you update your Tenant’s (i.e. Debtor’s) move-out date to get to a more accurate calculation of rental debt owing to you.

Why do I need to let Openroom know about the move-out date?

On many Court Orders and/or Tribunal Decisions, there is a per-day rate that is to be calculated when a Debtor stays in the property beyond the dates indicated by the courts.


In these cases, you want to make sure you are adding those additional days onto the total amount owing to you.


The general calculation we do at Openroom for amounts owing to you is:


Total Debt Owing = principle listed in the court order + per-day rate + filing fee + interest

You don’t want to miss out on the per-day rate!

Why is this important?

Openroom sends rental debt owed to you (i.e. the Creditor) on the 15th of each month to Equifax.


You can update Openroom at least once a month before the 15th with latest occupancy status and move out date to ensure that we send the most up to date outstanding balance to Equifax.


Without confirmation, what we report to Equifax may be lower than the actual outstanding balance owed to you.

How do I update the per-day rate? 

Log in to Openroom

Click on RENTAL DEBT on the left side menu bar
Click the specific rental debt application you are looking to update


Click on “update move out date” to update the status and/or the date

When should I do the update?

  1. If the tenants have not moved out, keep coming back into the system to update the dates. You can do this each day up until the move out date to keep it up to date. Generally, members will do this once a month before the 15th of the month as that is when we send it to Equifax.

  2. If the tenants have moved out, you just need to do this one time and the Openroom Rental Debt Ledger system will update accordingly.


How do I dispute?
