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 unless the Tenant pays $8,186 by March 31, 2023 or $9,686 by April 30, 2023 to void the order and continue the tenancy. If the Tenant does not pay the required amount, the Tenant must move out by April 30, 2023. The Tenant owes the Landlord $7,425.80 in rent arrears and application filing fee, plus daily compensation of $49.32 starting March 16, 2023 until the Tenant moves out.
