What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Landlord served a valid Notice of Termination effective September 25, 2020 due to rent arrears. The property was sold on January 20, 2021, terminating the tenancy on that date. The Landlord is seeking an order for the outstanding arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated on January 20, 2021 when the property was sold. The Landlord owes the Tenant $815.95, which includes the rent deposit and interest, minus the rent arrears and application filing costs. The Landlord must pay the Tenant this amount by May 3, 2021, or start accruing 2% annual interest on the outstanding balance.
