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 of Termination for non-payment of rent, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant was not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 31, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $3,344.46, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to January 20, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $24.83 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 21, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 31, 2021, the Tenant will start owing interest. If the unit is not vacated by January 31, 2021, the Landlords may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
