What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment of rent. The Landlords served valid N4 and N8 Notices, but the Tenants did not void the notices by paying the arrears. The Tenant Mindy Slater attended the hearing but was denied an adjournment request and subsequently disconnected from the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 19, 2023. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $15,892.35, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the Landlord's application filing fee, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay daily compensation of $59.18 per day for use of the unit from January 27, 2023 until they move out. If the full amount is not paid by February 19, 2023, the Tenants will owe interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
