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 September 29, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $3,212.04, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, compensation for use of the unit, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by September 29, 2021, the tenant will start owing interest and the landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction. The tenant has the right to make a motion to set aside the order if they pay the required amount after September 30, 2021 but before the Sheriff enforces the eviction.
