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 tenant remained in possession of the rental unit.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 24, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $15,109.95, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to January 13, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $52.60 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 14, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 24, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by January 24, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
