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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 14, 2021. The Tenant must pay $2,641.90 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the order date and the cost of filing the application. The Tenant must also pay $7.30 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting August 4, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by August 14, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
