What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Tenants were served with a valid N4 Notice and an N12 Notice, and they vacated the rental unit on July 31, 2020. The Tenants argued they were entitled to one month's rent compensation under the N12 notice, which the Landlord disputed.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective July 31, 2020, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $2,781.84 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date, the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants are also entitled to one month's rent compensation under the N12 notice.
