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 January 26, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $634.91, which includes rent arrears up to January 15, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $19.99 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 16, 2021 until the tenant moves out. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by January 26, 2021, the tenant will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by January 26, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement. If the tenant pays $1,732.36 by January 26, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
