What happened

Landlord 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 August 31, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $2,072.12, which includes rent arrears up to July 19, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $57.53 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting July 20, 2021 until the date they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 31, 2021, they will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
