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 tenant was not present at the hearing.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective January 30, 2022. The tenant must pay the landlord $8,824.92, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and application filing costs, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the full amount is not paid by January 30, 2022, the tenant will owe interest and the landlord can file the order for eviction.
