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 tenants had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 7, 2020. The tenants are ordered to pay $1,328.48 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest the landlord owes on the rent deposit. The tenants must also pay $44.05 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting August 28, 2020 to the date the tenants move out of the unit.
