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 November 13, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $8,779.63, which includes rent arrears up to November 2, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $47.19 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting November 3, 2021 until the tenant moves out. If the full amount is not paid by November 13, 2021, the tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
