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 September 12, 2020. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $18,189.82, which includes rent arrears up to September 1, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, minus the $2,500 the Tenants paid after the application was filed. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by September 12, 2020, they will start owing interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
