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 tenants had not made any payments since the application was filed.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 15, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $7,053.91, which includes rent arrears up to January 4, 2021 and the cost of filing the application. The Tenants must also pay $22.19 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 5, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by January 15, 2021, they will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
