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 property was sold on August 21, 2020, and the tenant was still in possession on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective August 21, 2020, the date the property was sold. The tenant is ordered to pay $10,781.36 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and compensation for the period from the termination date to the sale date, minus the amount the tenant paid after the application was filed. The tenant must also pay $190 for the cost of filing the application.
