What happened

Landlords 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 February 4, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $3,882.68, which includes rent arrears up to January 24, 2022 and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit. The Tenant must also pay $39.45 per day for compensation for use of the unit from January 25, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 4, 2022, the Landlords may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
