What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 31, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $4,113.25, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and NSF cheque charges, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $45.53 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 9, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants pay $5,950 on or before January 31, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
