What happened

Landlords 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 had not vacated the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $5,689.59, which includes rent arrears up to July 20, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the $2,900.00 the Tenant paid. The Tenant must also pay $32.88 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting July 21, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by July 31, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by July 31, 2021, the Landlords may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
