What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Tenant did not pay the rent owed from November 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021, and the Landlord served a valid Notice of Termination. The Tenant was in possession of the rental unit at the time of the application.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 16, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,137.90, which includes rent arrears up to August 5, 2021 and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $32.98 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting August 6, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by August 16, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
