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 remained in possession of the rental unit on the application date.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective October 31, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $8,603.27, which includes rent arrears up to October 20, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $29.26 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting October 21, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 31, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by October 31, 2021, the Landlords may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
