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 January 28, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,688.98, which includes rent arrears up to January 17, 2022 and the cost of filing the application, plus $17.59 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 18, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 28, 2022, the Tenant will start owing interest. If the unit is not vacated by January 28, 2022, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for eviction. The Tenant can void the eviction order by paying $2,278.00 to the Landlord or the Board by January 28, 2022.
