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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 26, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $10,245.04, which includes rent arrears up to June 15, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $51.98 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting June 16, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by June 26, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by June 26, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
