What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent, substantial interference, and undue damage to the premises. The Landlord had already resolved the L2 application based on the N5 notice through an interim order, and the Tenants were evicted on September 1, 2020. The Landlord proceeded with the uncontested L1 application for non-payment of rent.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 1, 2020, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $3,942.30 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date, compensation, and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit.
