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 not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 7, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $7,426.39, which includes rent arrears up to October 27, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit. The Tenant must also pay $57.53 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting October 28, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by November 7, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest. If the unit is not vacated by November 7, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
