What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Landlord sold the building after filing the application but prior to the hearing, so the application only addressed outstanding arrears up to the date of sale.

The ruling

The Tenant shall pay the Landlord $4,051.09 in rent arrears up to September 30, 2021, and $186.00 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 28, 2022, they will owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance starting January 29, 2022.
