What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment of rent. The Tenants vacated the rental unit on September 30, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 30, 2021, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $3,104.41 to the Landlords, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to the move-out date, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $201 for the cost of filing the application. If the full amount is not paid by January 4, 2022, the Tenants will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
