What happened

Landlords 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 had not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 30, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $11,483.01, which includes rent arrears up to October 19, 2021 and the application filing fee. The Tenant must also pay $49.32 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting October 20, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 30, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
