What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 13, 2021 unless the Tenants pay $3,536 to void the order. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $873.84, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to November 2, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $42.74 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting November 3, 2021 until they move out, and $186 for the application filing fee. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by November 13, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
