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 was not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 10, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,718.14, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, compensation for use of the unit after that date, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant can void the eviction order by paying $10,086 on or before June 30, 2021 or $11,186 on or before July 10, 2021.
