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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 6, 2021. The tenant must pay $2,976.37 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $49.92 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting July 27, 2021 until the date the tenant moves out. If the tenant pays the full amount owing on or before August 6, 2021, the tenant can void the order and continue the tenancy.
