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 had not vacated the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 31, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $5,177.86, which includes rent arrears up to February 8, 2022, plus $6.71 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting February 9, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by December 31, 2022, the Tenant will start owing interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by December 31, 2022, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
