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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 30, 2021. The tenants are ordered to pay $11,649 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to April 12, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants have until June 30, 2021 to pay the full amount owing to void the eviction order and continue the tenancy.
