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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective April 30, 2021, the date the tenant testified she would vacate the rental unit. The tenants are ordered to pay $3,109.75 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application. If the tenants do not pay the full amount by May 17, 2021, they will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
