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 tenants were in possession of the rental unit on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 30, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $1,229.38, which includes rent arrears up to August 10, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $22.36 per day for compensation for use of the unit from August 11, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by September 30, 2021, they will owe interest starting October 1, 2021. If the unit is not vacated by September 30, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
