What happened

Landlords 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 were in possession of the rental unit on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 2, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $2,763.45, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $36.16 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting October 23, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by November 2, 2021, they will start owing interest and the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
