What happened

Landlords 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 attended the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective March 5, 2022. The tenants are ordered to pay $8,603.40 to the landlords, which includes rent arrears up to February 22, 2022 and the cost of filing the application. The tenants can void the eviction order by paying $8,951 on or before February 28, 2022, or $9,651 on or before March 5, 2022.
