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 to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the Tenant pays $27,244 by February 28, 2023 or $29,494 by March 7, 2023 to void the order. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant must pay $24,978.55 to the Landlords and vacate the unit by March 7, 2023. The Tenant will also owe daily compensation of $73.97 from February 16, 2023 until move-out.
