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 15, 2020. The tenants must pay the landlord $9,956.84, which includes rent arrears up to March 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants must also pay $31.23 per day for use of the unit from August 5, 2020 until they move out, and $175.00 for the application filing costs. If the full amount is not paid by August 15, 2020, the tenants will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
