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 on September 1, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 1, 2020, the date the Landlord received vacant possession of the unit from the Sheriff. The Tenants are ordered to pay $3,932.34 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, compensation for the period after the termination date, and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit.
