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 had vacated the rental unit on November 30, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective November 30, 2020, the date the tenant vacated the rental unit. The tenant is ordered to pay $1,875.00 in rent arrears and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application, totaling $2,061.00, to the landlord by May 17, 2021. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by the due date, they will start to owe simple interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
