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 not vacated the rental unit as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 25, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $1,512.63, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application. If the tenant pays $1,681.00 on or before October 25, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue. If the tenant does not pay the full amount owing by October 25, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
