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 ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective March 13, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $15,871.35, which includes rent arrears and compensation, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $47.34 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting March 3, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by March 13, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
