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 February 29, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective February 29, 2020, the date the tenants vacated the rental unit. The tenants are ordered to pay $4,970.42 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to March 31, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit, and less $172 for abatement and compensation owed to the tenants.
