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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective August 18, 2020. The tenants are ordered to pay $4,275.39 to the landlords, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants must also pay $26.30 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting August 8, 2020 until they move out. If the tenants do not pay the full amount by August 18, 2020, they will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
