What happened

Landlord 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 resided in the rental unit for about 4 years and receives financial benefits from Ontario Works, intending to get assistance from the Salvation Army to pay the outstanding arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 31, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $5,157.62, which includes rent arrears up to January 4, 2022 and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $36.99 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 5, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 31, 2022, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office to enforce the eviction.
