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 tenant Danika Desjardins was in possession of the rental unit at the time of the application, while the other tenant Joel Bazinet had not resided there for approximately 3 years.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021, unless the tenant pays $2,405 by January 31, 2021 or $5,855 by July 31, 2021 to void the eviction order and continue the tenancy. The tenant must also pay $1,955.99 in rent arrears and compensation, plus $18.90 per day starting January 16, 2021 until the tenant vacates the unit.
