What happened

Landlord 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 had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 4, 2022. The tenants are ordered to pay $11,256.65 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, compensation for use of the unit, and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants have the option to void the eviction order by paying $13,586 by September 30, 2021 or $20,286 by January 4, 2022.
