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 was not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 29, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $642.38 in rent arrears and compensation, plus $17.62 per day starting September 8, 2021 until the tenant vacates. The tenant must also pay the $186 application fee. If the tenant pays $1,228 on or before September 29, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
