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 paid the full rent from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 30, 2020. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $4,862.08, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to November 19, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $34.52 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting November 20, 2020 until they move out, and $175 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by November 30, 2020, they will owe interest starting December 1, 2020. If the unit is not vacated by November 30, 2020, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
