What happened

Landlord 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 vacated the rental unit on October 31, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $8,944.91, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to October 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit, and less a $200 abatement for the Landlord's breach of the Act by entering the unit without proper notice. The Tenants must also pay the Landlord $175 for the application filing fee.
