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 paid the total rent they were required to pay from January 1, 2020 to February 28, 2022.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective February 19, 2022. The Tenants were ordered to pay $497.86 to the Landlords, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants were also ordered to pay $28.77 per day for compensation for use of the unit from February 9, 2022 until they vacate. If the Tenants did not pay the full amount owing by February 19, 2022, they would start owing interest and the Landlords could file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
