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 ruling

The Landlord and Tenant requested a consent conditional termination order, but it was denied as the arrears were minor at the hearing date. The Board granted relief from eviction, ordering the Tenant to pay $271.31 for rent arrears and filing costs by February 28, 2023. If the Tenant does not pay by the due date, they will start owing interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
