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 had vacated the rental unit on November 3, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective November 3, 2021, the date the tenant vacated the rental unit. The landlord owes the tenant $1,285.37, which includes the rent deposit and interest, minus the rent arrears, compensation, and charges related to the NSF cheque. The landlord is authorized to offset $186.00 for the cost of filing the application.
