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 in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 18, 2020. The Tenant must move out by that date. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord $2,155.76, which represents the rent arrears and application filing costs, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord $24.66 per day for use of the unit from April 1, 2020 until the move-out date. If the full amount is not paid by August 18, 2020, the Tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
