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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 21, 2020. The Tenant must move out of the rental unit on or before August 21, 2020. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord $1,564.14, which represents the amount of rent owing and compensation up to March 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord $44.79 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting April 1, 2020 to the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord $175.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by August 21, 2020, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
