What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the Tenants, another occupant of the rental unit or a person the Tenants permitted in the residential complex seriously impairing the safety of any person and substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord in a building that has three or fewer residential units and the Landlord resides in the building.

The ruling

The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated as of March 27, 2022, the date the Tenants moved out of the rental unit. The Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $1,434.09, which represents the rent arrears owing up to the date the Tenants moved out of the rental unit, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the Landlord has incurred as a result of the unpaid utility costs, and the cost of filing the application. The rent deposit is deducted from the amount owing by the Tenants. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before June 21, 2022, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from June 22, 2022 at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
