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 tenants were in possession of the rental unit on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 7, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $29,597.39, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, compensation for use of the unit, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 7, 2021, they will owe interest on the outstanding balance starting August 8, 2021. If the unit is not vacated by August 7, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
