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 still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The order is limited to the landlord's cost of filing the application, which the tenant must pay by February 28, 2023. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by the due date, they will start owing interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
