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 had not paid rent since January 2020, causing significant financial hardship for the landlord.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 5, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $19,506.23 in rent arrears and costs, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 5, 2020, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
