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 of Termination, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had vacated the rental unit on March 31, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective March 31, 2021, the date the Tenant vacated the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay $1,481.96 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and compensation, minus the amount the Tenant paid after the application was filed. The Tenant is also ordered to pay $186.00 for the cost of filing the application.
