What happened

Landlords 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 had not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 8, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $4,830.73, which includes rent arrears up to April 27, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $46.03 per day for compensation for use of the unit from April 28, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by May 8, 2021, they will start owing interest and the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
