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 vacated the rental unit on September 2, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 2, 2020, the date the Tenant vacated the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay $3,261.51 to the Landlords, which represents the rent arrears up to the move-out date, less the last month's rent deposit and interest owing on the deposit. The Tenant is also ordered to pay $175 for the cost of filing the application.
