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 February 15, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $17,137.25, which includes rent arrears up to February 4, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $24.86 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting February 5, 2021 until they move out. If the full amount is not paid by February 15, 2021, the Tenants will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order for eviction.
