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 was in possession of the rental unit when the application was filed.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 29, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $9,147.13, which includes rent arrears up to August 18, 2021 and the application fee, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the tenant pays $10,811 by August 29, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
