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 January 5, 2022. The tenant must pay the landlord $2,071.67, which includes rent arrears up to December 21, 2021 and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit. The tenant must also pay $38.14 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting December 22, 2021 until the tenant vacates. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by January 5, 2022, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
