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 not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021. The tenant must pay $669.20 to the landlord, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to July 20, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $36.25 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting July 21, 2021 until the tenant moves out, and $186 for the application filing fee. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by July 31, 2021, the tenant will owe interest starting August 1, 2021. If the unit is not vacated by July 31, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
