What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord also claimed possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation. The Tenants had vacated the unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $2,968.48, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by January 28, 2022, they will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
