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 not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021. The tenant must pay $2,034.28 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to June 15, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant can void the order and continue the tenancy by paying $1,865 by June 30, 2021 or $2,796 by July 31, 2021.
