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 to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the tenant did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 15, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,350.29, which includes rent arrears up to August 4, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $36 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting August 5, 2020 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant pays the full amount of $10,030 on or before August 15, 2020, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
